lines of ice on the surface of mars

The maze looks like a piece of cake.

A new study suggests that the image of ice and dust on Mars from a NASA spaceship may provide a glimpse into the Red Planet's past.

The ripples in this picture are calledTAR. They are in between the size of dust particles and dust dunes.

There are icy steps south of a complex zone called Noctis Labryinthus and southeast of a huge canyon on Mars.

There are 15 Martian moments from NASA.

Scientists want to know how Mars changed over time because of the TAR features. The image was obtained using a high-definition camera at the university.

Everyone is not sure how the TARs form. "Ripples and dunes are formed from sand grains being blown over longer distances," university officials wrote.

According to the statement, one hypothesis for TAR formation is that larger grains like pebbles are rolled on top of smaller ripples.

Another layer of mystery is provided by a closer look at the picture. A network of old, beaten-up channels may have been formed by water or lava.

The crater on Mars looks similar to a human fingerprints.

There is a lot of disagreement about whether the environment on the Red Planet was hospitable enough for life to flourish.

Water evidence has been sought by many Mars missions in the past. The Perseverance rover was the first helicopter to land on Mars.

The most promising samples for a future Mars sample return mission are being picked up by Perseverance.
