Grim Reaper 6 Posted March 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Quote A new batch of photos of the red planet were taken by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The new images included a good look at several sand dunes that appear to form into perfect circles on the surface of the planet. The space agency released a statement explaining how “unusual” the phenomenon is. “They are still slightly asymmetrical, with steep slip faces on the south ends. This indicates that sand generally moves to the south, but the winds may be variable,” NASA explained. “This is part of a series of images to monitor how frost disappears in the late winter; this observation appears to be free of frost.” The previous images taken of the area showed the surface nearly covered in frost. The images were labeled the “bear face” after an orbiter reported the face of the planet resembling the grizzly animal. That image was taken in December from nearly 251 km high. NASA asked: “A Bear on Mars? This feature looks a bit like a bear’s face. What is it really?” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/odd-circles-appear-on-the-surface-of-mars-leaving-astronomers-scratching-their-heads-nasa/ar-AA18nqnK?ocid=Peregrine&cvid=c9193aeef4a9403cb3322680491b0c81&ei=18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why they don’t send a Rover to check it out that would solve the issue once and for all! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtleinawholeshell Posted March 9, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Interesting how one picture the "holes" do indeed look like holes. Most similarly like light through water on shallow beach sand. but the other picture the "holes" look like something sitting on top of coral-like patterns. Or my eyes are just Derping. I know scale invariance is a thing but its so difficult to get any sense of reference from these pictures Dont really have a point, just observing Edited March 9, 2023 by turtleinawholeshell addition 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbloodmoon Posted March 15, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Maybe mars had a bad case of acne during its teen years? Either that or our rovers gave mars small pox, humans as a whole are kinda a holey that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
