NASA captures strange place on Mars: Is this a habitable zone?

A published image from NASA of a multi-layered land mixed with beautiful white and blue colors on Mars may contain an interesting aquifer.

NASA says the image was captured by the HiRISE satellite while flying above Danielson Crater, a geologically interesting crater.

Interesting landscape in the photo NASA just released

Although the real landscape is not as beautiful blue as the image has been color-corrected by NASA, it can be clearly seen that the magical folds of the sediment layers are quite evenly spaced, with different degrees of corrosion. together.

The uniformity between these layers - despite being spaced out - suggests that they cannot be produced by random processes such as events and touches. Instead, something cyclical deposited the sediment.

These sedimentary rocks were formed millions and billions of years ago when loose sediments settled into the crater, layer by layer, and were cemented in place. Faults are created when sediment turns to rock.

According to Science Alert, NASA has two theories for the formation of this particular landscape: due to climate change caused by cyclic changes in Mars' orbit, or due to an aquifer.

The aquifer hypothesis is particularly interesting, because where there is water, there can be life. And Mars is one of the top targets in NASA's life-hunting journey.
