Layers of ice seen on Mars, a shocking revelation from a new NASA image
Washington, Ta. Monday 2 August 2021
Ice layers have been observed on Mars. Pictured by NASA's spacecraft Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. NASA has released this new image on its website and social media handle. Looking at this picture is reminiscent of the frozen ice in Greenland and Antarctica. Large lakes have formed on Mars. However, NASA scientists have shocked the whole world by making a new revelation.
"We were shocked to see images of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter," said NASA scientists. Large ice layers were observed at the south pole of Mars. This image was taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter orbiting Mars. But scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory were also taken aback by what came to light after the investigation.
NASA wrote on its site that where there is water, there is life but this principle is only being applied to the earth. So our scientists are searching for liquid water on the dry land of Mars. However finding water on the red planet is not so easy. Looking at it from a distance and examining the images, it is reported that most of the ice at the south pole of Mars is ice.
NASA writes that if it gets a little hot, the ice melts and becomes water. But this condition does not last long. Liquid water evaporates in a matter of seconds. Mars disappears into the planet's atmosphere. In 2018, Roberto Orosei, a scientist at Italy's National Institute of Astrophysics, discovered an icy lake beneath the surface at the South Pole of Mars. He was linked to the European Space Agency's Mars Express Orbiter.
When these images and radar signals were scrutinized, it was discovered that the source of the lake formed on Mars was not water or ice but clay. For this reason, three new research papers were published after a study of the data obtained last month. It was common knowledge that clay could be a major contributor to the drying up of the lake.
Eighty scientists from around the world studying the South Pole of Mars recently met at the International Conference on Mars Polar Science and Exploration in the village of Ashuia, on the south coast of Argentina. Here all the scientists shared with each other their studies done on Mars. JPL scientist Jeffrey Plot says that such conferences enhance the knowledge of scientists. Data and statistics are shared. There is a new angle to study in a new way.
Clays, not water, may be the source of "lakes" detected on Mars, according to a new study. It's one of three in the last month in which scientists took a closer look at radar data peering under the ice of the Martian south pole. https://t.co/mI85NFjnBE pic.twitter.com/VYbU7ulzVB
