ExoMars Orbiter Discovers Giant Spider-Like Formations on Mars: ESA Reports

The ExoMars Orbiter (TGO) was sent to Mars by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2016 to conduct atmospheric research. Very interesting details appeared in the latest images submitted by ExoMars, which has been exploring Mars for eight years.

TGO, which studies the south polar region of Mars, “like a giant spider” He found traces of crystal. It was announced that these crystal marks were not spiders, but formations formed on the surface of the planet at the time when Mars turned from winter to spring.

A STATEMENT FROM ESA ON THE COURT

ESA said the spider-like traces were formed as a result of carbon dioxide gas, which was frozen in winter, melting in spring and spewing dust and sand underground to the surface.

Postulating that sunlight causes the carbon dioxide ice below ground level to turn into a gas, which then collects and breaks up the ice layers above, explained ESA that the gas is released in the spring, dragging trapped dust and sand to the surface and breaking the ice layers apart.

ESA continued their statement on the subject with the following statements:

“Gas released from melting carbon dioxide ice causes dust and sand to erupt from the surface, which falls back to the surface.

Therefore, over time, dark spots with a width of 45 meters to 1 kilometer will appear in the image.
