We owe these wonderful and amazing pictures of the European Space Agency's tropical vehicle (European Space Agency). Mars' surprisingly diverse surface provides insight into the events of the Red Planet's past. Mars Express took a closer look at the Nili Fossae trenches on Mars, which is located along the edge of a huge hole called ISIDIS Planitia.
The depth of these trenches is hundreds of meters and is several hundreds of kilometers long, and is accompanied by formations called trenches, which form when the ground breaks between two parallel trench and collapses. The European Space Agency calls them “cat scratches.”
Soil created by a meteorite impact billions of years ago
Astronomical physicists estimate that Nilly Fossay's trenches were formed after a huge meteor collision for about 4 billion years ago. In the aftermath of the collision, which created the Ezdis Plainia hole, which is estimated at 2000 km, it is likely that the Mars surface areas have been cracked and collapsed, to form the trenches that the probe witnessed today. Similar features can also be found, called Amenthes Fossae, on the other side of the hole, according to the European Space Agency.
“Scientists have focused on Nilly Fossay in recent years due to the amazing quantity and diversity of minerals in this region, including silicate, carbonate and mud, many of which were discovered by the omega -March Express tool.”“, the European Space Agency wrote in its press release. “These minerals are formed in the presence of water, indicating that this region was very wet in the history of the ancient Mars.”
Confirming the existence of water in ancient times
This new video has been created using data from the Mars Express HRSC, and also reveals a luxurious view of the Jezero nozzle. This is the place where the NASA PERSEVERANCE landed landed in 2021.
“Most of the soil was formed here more than 3.5 billion years ago, when surface water was abundant on Mars.” The European Space Agency continues to describe the video. “Scientists believe that the water flows not only on the surface, but also at the bottom, to form the underground heat flows that are heated by old volcanoes.”
The Mars Express probe, which arrived in the Red Planet in 2003, had already studied Nelly Fosai in 2014. This time, the researchers used the photos taken by the tropical vehicle, as well as the digital terrain models of Mars to create this 3D landscape. Used for bridge video.
