Spain 07/19/2012 06:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Open crater on Mars, gateway to Martian hell? Nasa scientists are baffled as to what - or maybe even who? - created this unusual hole on the surface of Mars. The hole was discovered by chance on images of the dusty slopes of the Red Planet's Pavonis Mons volcano. It appears to be an opening to an underground cavern, partly illuminated to the right of the opening. Read more: [ link to www.dailymail.co.uk] The unexamined life is not worth living |

Or maybe and very unlikely its just a natural rock formation made by erosion or asteroid strike? What say you? |

China 07/19/2012 07:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Open crater on Mars, gateway to Martian hell? Intersection of shallow crater with subsurface lava tube?
If not, how about a chemical/mineralogy effect with the impact pressure leading to (e.g.) a metastable, high density ice that that was then more prone to sublimation?
If we knew what the rock was, that might help. Either way, though, I wish they'd send a probe down there... I'd love it to be something more... unexpected. |
