Mars surface – expression
The red planet still retains the mysterious secrets that astronomers are trying to decipher, and the American space agency “NASA” published an amazing picture of a unique hole on the surface of Mars with strange and luminous edges that gave it an appearance similar to a human fingerprint, according to scientific sources.
The crater in the new scenes is known as “Airy-0”, which is a depression regarding half a kilometer wide and is located inside the large “Airy” crater, meaning it is a crater inside another volcanic crater.
According to the article published in the scientific journal “livescience”, which likened the small crater to a clear human footprint, the large “Airy” crater is regarding 27 miles (43.5 km) wide.
The image was taken during the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
It is worth noting that astronomers had chosen the large crater in 1884 to determine the meridian separating the east and west of Mars and set it at zero degrees, which separates the eastern and western halves of the planet.
