What was discovered in satellite images

Hundreds of black “spiders” have been spotted in a mysterious Inca city on Mars in new satellite images.

A new photo of her European Space Agency (ESA) With the “spiders” they actually show seasonal bursts of carbon dioxide on the Red Planet.

The dark, spiky formations were spotted in a formation known as the Inca City in the south polar region of Mars. Pictures are taken from The Mars Express Orbiter and the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter The ESA shows dark dots with markings resembling spider legs.

In fact, these points are gas channels whose diameter ranges from 45 meters to 1 kilometer. They occur when the weather begins to warm in the Southern Hemisphere during the Martian spring, causing layers of carbon dioxide ice to melt. The heat causes the lower layers of ice to turn into a gas or deteriorate.

The gas also expands and riseserupting from the ice sheets that cover itBringing with it the dark dust from the hard surface.
This dust blows off the ice before falling onto the top layer, creating the cracked spider pattern we see. In some places, hot springs erupt through ice up to one meter thick, according to the European Space Agency.

The Inca city is also known as Angustus Labyrinthus. It gets its name from its rugged, linear ridges, which were once thought to be fossilized sand dunes or perhaps the remains of ancient Martian glaciers, which would have left behind high walls of sediment as they retreated.

In 2002, the Mars Orbiter spacecraft revealed that the Inca city was part of a circular formation about 86 kilometers across. This feature may be an ancient meteorite crater.

This fact indicates that The geometric ridges may be magma that has risen to the surface Through the hot, cracked crust of Mars after a collision with a space rock.

The crater was then filled with sediment, which has since eroded away, partially exposing magma formations reminiscent of ancient ruins.
