NASA publică o imagine spectaculoasă de pe Marte. „Este ca Pământul, dar este cu siguranță Marte”

NASA's Curiosity rover captured a stunning image of Martian landscapes at sunrise, showcasing unique geological formations called yardangs. These features, shaped by wind erosion over billions of years, indicate a different geological layer than previously encountered. Researchers believe this layer was formed from sediments, possibly volcanic ash, and compacted into rock before being eroded. The rover has ascended over a kilometer on Mount Sharp, revealing insights into Mars' wetter past. Curiosity is expected to reach the yardang layer by 2027 or 2028, where it will analyze the geological composition. The image highlights the distinct Martian atmosphere, with blue sunrise hues contrasting against an orange sky.
