Webb can image the entire planet at once in high resolution at a short exposure time, allowing for the study of dust storms, weather patterns and seasonal changes.
like dust storms, weather patterns, seasonal changes, and, in a single observation, processes that occur at different times of a Martian day.
The NIRCam longer-wavelength image shows thermal emission – light that is given off by the planet as it loses heat. It reveals information about heat emitted from the Martian surface and atmosphere, as well as the concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.Geronimo Villanueva of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, who designed the Webb observations, also released Webb’s first near-infrared spectrum of Mars, demonstrating Webb’s power to study the Red Planet with spectroscopy.
