NASA’s Curiosity Rover Spotted a “Doorway” on Mars. For more in the world of technology and science, keep reading. What do you think about the human tendency to see familiar objects in unfamiliar terrain? Let us know in the comments below. So far, it has travelled 27.84 kilometres over 3,472 Martian days (called "sols"). The Curiosity first landed on Mars in 2012 and since then has been roaming the desolate dunes of Mars alone. On the other hand, it appears that Mars is completely desolate and humans can chart it out as they please.Īlso read: Scientists Discover Astonishing Aurora On Mars Never Seen Before On Any Planet Perseverance is going about one kilometers per second at an. If you were expecting Curiosity to finally make first contact with Martian underground aliens, this is bad news. NASA successfully landed its new robotic rover on Mars Thursday, a mission to directly study if there was ever life on the planet. Or perhaps it's a single vertical fracture and its blocks have moved a little bit, Vasavada explained.
In this case, it appears that there were two vertical fractures, and the middle piece has been removed. Usually, these fractures in Martian sand dunes are vertical. So, that door is not a door, but in fact a small opening in the rock, which Vasavada thinks is about 30 centimetres high.Īlso read: Strange 'Claw Marks' on Martian Surface Spotted By ESA’s Mars Orbiter A WebGL experience that lets you learn about the Curiosity rover and what it has done at the Pahrump Hills region of Gale Crater. Owing to the pressure from this constant piling, the sandstone essentially fractured at different spots. Welcome to NASAs Eyes, a way for you to learn about your home planet, our solar system, the universe beyond and the spacecraft exploring them. Unfortunately, it's not.Īccording to Ashwin Vasavada from the Mars Science Laboratory, the rectangular opening is simply "the space between two fractures in a rock." In conversation with Gizmodo, Vasavada added that the area imaged by Curiosity's Mastcam "has formed from ancient sand dunes." These dunes piled on each other over centuries. If you think the Earth is flat and most politicians are lizards, you're most likely to believe this is an underground bunker for secret alien meetings. The image in question was taken by Curiosity on May 7 as it ascended Mount Sharp. A rectangular opening on Mars' surface looks a basement doorway, perhaps leading to an underground civilisation. "It should be noted that discarded debris are common in space missions.NASA's Curiosity Rover seems to have found a "doorway" on Mars. "So far, we've seen shiny pieces of thermal blanket material, Dacron netting material that is also used in thermal blankets," NASA Imaging Scientist Justin Maki wrote. NASA's Mars Perseverance rover acquired this image of the area in front of it using its onboard Front Left Hazard Avoidance Camera A. Scientists suspect the tangled object, and most of the other material pictured, is likely pieces of shredded Dacron netting from the Perseverance.
The Perseverance team took this image to measure the amount of dust in the planet’s nighttime atmosphere, which can be compared to similar measurements made by imaging the Sun.
12, 2022, the 319th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Now, NASA is seeing that debris from imagery in the Hogwallow Flats region of the Red Planet. NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover used its Mastcam-Z camera to view Phobos, one of Mars’ two moons, on Jan. In a blog post last week by the space agency, scientists said that when the rover originally landed on Mars in February 2021, hardware known as Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) was discarded onto the planet's surface.
Turns out – it was likely just trash discarded there by the rover itself. NASA's Perseverance rover has captured a mysterious, stringlike material on the surface of Mars.
