NASA discovered a 16-storey structure on the surface of Mars

NASA scientists discovered a huge array of structures on the surface of Mars.

Large tectonic structures on the surface of Mars make the experts of the US Aeronautics Agency (NASA) confused about their massive size, Sun reported on January 30. Some strange structures have the same shape as a thin blade, which is as high as a 16-storey building.

However, they are not alien houses but are more likely to be formed by lava in the planet's history. NASA describes structures as "polygonal peaks" and finds them in many areas across the planet's surface.

According to NASA, the simplest explanation for these sharp peaks is lava that flows into pre- existing cracks and then fights better erosion around the surrounding rock.

"Finding the peaks in the Medusae Fossae region prompted me to search for all types of Mars polygons," said Laura Kerber of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "Polygon peaks can form in a number of ways. Some of them are really the key to understanding the history of early Mars. Many peaks are mineral circuits, telling us about the water Complete underground ".
