The_Tower-1.jpgA new "Monolith-like Structure" on Mars...93 visiteWith thousands of images taken by various probes sent to Mars, it would seem inevitable that unusual or puzzling objects might be seen in some of them. And of course, there have been, most notably the famous Face on Mars first seen in low-resolution Viking Orbiter images in the 1970s. Higher-resolution images taken later by other orbiters with better cameras showed it, and nearby interesting formations, to be just natural hills and mesas. Despite that, other curious things are seen in both orbital and ground images from time to time, although they almost always have a simple prosaic explanation. Another such oddity was seen in an image taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), which has attracted some attention. Most likely it is a natural rock formation, but its also not, as described by the tabloid Daily Mail, a spherule either.
The image shows a bright object casting a long shadow across the Floor of what might be a dried-up lakebed. Some observers have said it might be a Tower (or "Spire"), judging by the long shadow, but the view is from directly above and not enough detail can be seen on the object itself. The object does stand out for its brightness, but little more can be said about it. Using Occams Razor, it is most likely a natural geological rock formation, and not an alien tower, but it also cant be a round spherule as referred to. The spherules seen by the Opportunity and Curiosity rovers are tiny, only a few millimeters across, way, way too small to be seen from orbit. If at all sphere-shaped, it is much bigger than that. Simply being round or tall also wouldnt prove it was something artificial.MareKromium%17/%03/%23, %16.%MarPaolo C. Fienga: Bella Anakin! Sei un Grande e mi fai sempre un gra...

SOL3423-PIA25176-8192x2276.jpg"(Alli)Gator Back" Rocks on "Greenheugh" - Sol 3423141 visiteNASAs Curiosity Mars rover used its Mast Camera, or MastCam, to take this 360 panorama on March 23, 2022, the 3.423th Martian Day, or Sol, of the Mission. The team has informally described the wind-sharpened rocks seen here as gator-back rocks because of their scaly appearance.
Wind-sharpened rocks like these are called ventifacts, and are responsible for chewing up Curiositys wheels earlier in the mission. Since then, rover engineers have found ways to slow wheel wear, including a traction control algorithm. They also plan rover routes that avoid driving over such rocks, including these latest ventifacts, which are made of sandstone the hardest type of rock Curiosity has encountered on Mars.
These rocks form the Surface of the Greenheugh Pediment, a broad, sloping plain in the foothills of Mount Sharp. The floor of Gale Crater is visible along the edges of the mosaic. When Curiositys team saw the gator-back rocks, they ultimately decided to turn the rover around and take an alternative path to continue climbing Mount Sharp, a 3,4-mile-tall (approx. 5,5-Km-tall) mountain that Curiosity has been ascending since 2014. As it climbs, Curiosity is able to study different sedimentary layers shaped by water billions of years ago. These layers help scientists understand whether microscopic life could have survived in the ancient Martian Environment.MareKromium%15/%03/%23, %14.%MarUfologo: Tranquillo!
