The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has discovered that Mars, known as the ‘Red Planet’, does not entirely adhere to the color it has been known for. In a recent photo captured by the international space agency, a layered bedrock several kilometers in depth produced by the formation of more than 40 kilometers of vast crater, has been captured with blue surface. This volcanic plains are known as Lunae Planum. Later on, it has been discovered that the color blue dominates the other surface of the red planet.
Breccia, or rocks with angular or sharp fragment orientation, has been formed as a result of faulting and fracturing. This was caused by the exhumation of layers within vertical fields. Breccia dikes are common in terrestrial craters.
The rocks were pulled apart by forces, widening the fracture of Breccia. During this phenomenon, the gap in breccia are filled with rocky materials. NASA was able to see this Martian territory through a high-resolution image cutout.
Nature World News reported that NASA has been keen on studying the Nili Fossae Trough. This is one of the possible landing sites for their much-talked about mission to Mars. This is also recognized as one of the most colorful regions on Mars.
NASA said that the images they have obtained were capture by HiRISE, or High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment. This is the Mars orbiter operated by the University of Arizona. It was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp.
Despite rumors making the rounds in Science circles about alien life on Mars, NASA said that there are no evidence to support this claim. They also said that not a trace of simplest life form can be seen there. One of the most persistent theories of life on the red planet is the Mars civilization.
