Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
The Exo-Mars Orbiter satellite operated by the European Space Agency (ESA) managed to capture the incident landslide on the planet Mars.
According to the ESA’s statement, India Today, Wednesday (1/9), the landslide on Mars occurred along five kilometers. The image of the landslide was captured by the Exo-Mars satellite camera on April 13 in a 35-kilometer wide crater in the Aeolis region.
ESA said the landslide occurred as a result of geomorphological processes due to environmental conditions on Mars.
“What happens on Mars is the same as on Earth, it varies in size and shape, and we use analogies like what happens on Earth to understand the same processes on the planet’s surface,” the ESA statement said.
The satellite image shows the remnant and direction of the avalanche on Mars. The ESA said they discovered the avalanche while satellites were surveying the Martian surface for areas rich in water resources.
The satellite also captured images of three craters in the Lunae Planum area.
The gas-seeking satellite arrived on Mars in 2016 and began a science mission two years later.
