Watch: NASA shares images of the ‘Winter Wonderland’ Mars becomes as temperatures dip 123 degrees below zero

Some people think that the cold weather in Delhi or the winter storm in the US is harsh. Well, they certainly wouldn’t like to visit Mars when space travel actually becomes a viable option. NASA took to their social media feeds across Twitter and Instagram and shared some magnificent images and factoids about the winter wonderland that Mars becomes.

The images reveal that barring the temperature, the weather behaves almost identically to the Earth’s winter season.

The images were first shared in the form of a video by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory or JPL. The video showed what snow, frost, and ice would look like on Mars.

Through the video, we also learn that Mars has a ton of dry ice, which is a form of carbon dioxide that is solid. The dry ice, instead of melting like regular ice, sublimates, or changes over to gas. During the process, it creates some bizarre but scenic landscapes, which give the images an ethereal appeal.
