What is the small green spot on Mars's surface?
Recently a satellite image of the Red Planet's terrain has accidentally revealed small blue spots on the surface. So what are they and where do they come from?
Mystery of small green spots on the surface of Mars
The image taken from the probe Mars Express shows that there is a very strange , horizontal and completely blue sky against the dusty red surface of Mars.
However, scientists think that these green spots seem to be a very normal thing. According to astronomers from the European Space Agency (ESA), those blue spots are really nothing unusual. These are areas that represent deposits of fertile basalt , due to strong winds blowing across the surface of Mars.
ESA explains that these winds have a very strong impact on the surface of Mars:
"Strong winds blow dust and sand from the surface of Mars and move them around the planet at high speed. Winds can reach speeds of 100km / h, enough to create giant dust storms. They blow continuously on large areas of Mars, they last for days, even weeks, when the winds move, they gouge everything around, erode, smooth and smooth. wear slowly from the planet's surface over millions of years ".

Mars is a planet with frequent dust storms with the most terrifying destructive power of the solar system. Scientists are still unable to explain why dust storms in the Red planet can be so powerful. However, sunlight can be a huge source of energy for continuous storms on Mars.
