For those who think that the Mars rover Curiosity is small - it is larger than some ordinary cars.

Scientists studying data collected by the Zhurong rover on Mars have published a study which proves the presence of relatively recent water activity in the Utopia Planitia region. After landing in the region, Zhurong studied the four closest dunes, analyzing the composition of their surfaces. All four dunes, ranging from 15 to 30 meters in length and a height of up to 1 meter, were found to be covered with a small crust with cracks. They were formed as a result of the evaporation of water between 400,000 to 1.4 million years ago.

After terraforming, according to astroenthusiast Kevin Gill based on images from MRO and radar images of the Mars Global Surveyor's surface, Mars looked like this.

Scientists are leveraging artificial intelligence to search for places on Mars where life may be possible. It is currently being taught to do this by using images of Earth landscapes where life survives in extreme conditions.

Representatives from various disciplines working at the SETI Institute have together developed an AI that will help to locate life on Mars and other planets. It will analyze surface shots received from orbital devices, and search for places where the presence of biological life is most likely.

Trajectories of Launched Spacecraft Exploring Our Solar System

In 2011, a hole was discovered by NASA scientists while studying images taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The 35 meter diameter hole is located on the slope of Mount Pavonis.

Experts noticed that the crater had almost a perfect circular shape, which may hint at an artificial origin of the object. With side lighting, scientists determined that there is an empty space beneath the hole. Judging by the internal shadow angle, the hole has a depth of about 28 meters.

In 2019, entomologist William Romoser declared that he had found insects on Mars. The researcher studied photographs taken by the Mars rover Curiosity and found traces of creatures resembling insects on them.

Experts have called this anomaly due to the satellite, but it's not so simple. It is well known that there are living creatures on Mars, carefully hiding from our eyes.

More than half of Russians admitted they would like to visit another planet in the Solar System.

Mars was the most popular cosmic object (24%), followed by the Moon (10%) and Venus (9%).

In addition, 10% of the respondents thought that aliens will come to Earth and make contact with humans.
