The rover found the scary 'evil eye' on Mars

The European Space Agency's (ESA) Mars Express rover has recently taken pictures of the surface of Mars, showing a giant crater with a very scary appearance, like an eye. huge.

"Devil's Eye" found on the surface of Mars.

According to estimates, the crater is about 30km in diameter, located in an area known as Aonia Terra, in the southern hemisphere of Mars.

Geologists think that regions like Aonia Terra could also reveal the mystery of Mars' interior composition. According to them, a strong enough impact could reveal materials hidden deep below the planet's surface, as well as contribute to the creation of new surface geology and compositions.

For example, the newly discovered crater shows that the surface composition here is very complex and diverse.

The unnamed crater is located on a terrain with many deep grooves, extending around. Scientists surmise they may have formed from countless small rivers on the surface of Mars billions of years ago.

Beneath these flows, traces of darker material can be observed. Some of them even rose to the surface, perhaps vestiges of erosion-resistant materials that once settled into dry river beds and are still present today.

In the crater's center, darker matter can also be seen, existing as a rippling dune of sand.

Unknown crater from another perspective.

Although visually impressive, it is still much smaller than other craters on Mars, such as Lowell crater with a diameter of approximately 200 km.

According to Science Alert, Lowell and many other craters in the area, are thought to have formed by geological impacts about 4 billion years ago, during a period when the early Solar System was still extremely active. violent, otherwise known as "heavy bombing". 

In fact, on Earth, a similar process happened, and this is the premise for the "seeding" process of the Blue planet, helping to create water and organic compounds necessary for life. .

However, for Mars - a planet inherently barren and much quieter than on Earth, the process of transformation to create life must have encountered some obstacle, or something has happened. erase all. This is what scientists are trying to unravel.
