Structures like these, known as hoodoos, are also found on land.
The rover Curiosity, sent by the U.S. space agency NASA to explore the Gale Crater on Mars, has discovered a peculiar rock formation on the red planet
The SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization focused on the search for life in the Universe, highlighted the image in a tweet last week, calling it a ‘cool rock.’
‘The spines are most likely cemented fillings of ancient fractures in a sedimentary rock.
Estructuras como estas también se encuentran en ciertos lugares de la Tierra.
Los hoodoos son conocidos por muchos nombres, como hoodoos, pirámides de tierra y rocas de carpa.
La NASA está interesada en tales hallazgos, los cuales deberían revelar más información sobre la historia del cráter Gale.
¡Claro! Aquí está la versión corregida:
“The photo of the ‘spikes’ was taken by a camera aboard the rover Curiosity on May 15, according to Vice News, just a week before it found an unusual structure in the rocks that resembled a skillfully carved door on the planet.
The image was captured by the Curiosity rover over a geological feature known as the Greenheugh Pediment on May 7 and shared on Reddit by NASA.
Media outlets like The Independent suggested that the peculiar rock formation could be the result of a natural stress fracture caused by seismic activity.
