The Curiosity rover has discovered unusual spiky rocks on the surface of Mars. Scientists believe that they are a sign of the complex geological history of the Red Planet and were formed as a result of erosion. Space.

Curiosity will celebrate its 10th anniversary on Mars on May 6, 2022. But he continues his work and studies the rock formations on the surface of the Red Planet with particular care.

New images sent back by the rover show jagged rocks that look like twisted pillars sticking out of the surface.

These spiky rocks are cemented fillings of ancient cracks in sedimentary rock, according to a NASA statement. This rock was created from sand and water, but the rest of these “pillars” were created from softer material and eroded away.

Scientists believe that such an appearance, this formation on the surface of Mars acquired due to less gravity than on Earth, which represents only one third of the earth’s gravity. But the exact dimensions of these structures are not yet known.

It is known for sure that the Curiosity rover discovered this unusual structure in the region of Mount Aeolis, which is located in the Gale crater and rises 5.5 km above the surface. Scientists now want to get even more data from the rover’s exploration of Mount Aeolis that will help them better understand the geological history of Mars.

Curiosity, like the Perseverance rover, is looking for signs of ancient life on Mars. Now he is climbing Mount Aeolis to study the process of changing rocks over billions of years.

Focus already wrote that the Perseverance rover took the first do-it-yourself solution on Mars. Now scientists hope that this state of affairs will increase the efficiency of its work in the Lake Lake crater.

Also Focus wrote that, according to scientists, people will be able to get used to Mars, but for this they will have to completely change yourself.
