An odd formation that resembles a bear’s face was captured on the floor of the Crimson Planet by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter final month.
Two completely positioned craters make up the eyes, a hill with a “V-shaped collapse construction” makes up the nostril, and a round fracture sample kinds the pinnacle, in line with the College of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, which controls the orbiter’s digicam.
“The round fracture sample may be because of the settling of a deposit over a buried influence crater,” the lab defined. “Perhaps the nostril is a volcanic or mud vent and the deposit could possibly be lava or mud flows?”
