By the middle of the first half of spring, these spots become darker, are bounded, and grow in size.

Mars is known to have planet-encircling dust storms. If it is indeed a tower of some kind, it stands at an incredible 6.3 kilometers high - 12 times taller than the largest skyscraper on Earth.

That creates the dark "cookies" part of the cookies and cream-style image. Off-center is a dome-like structure, nearly perfectly spherical, that appears to have a golf ball-like texture... or that of a Buckminster Fuller geodesic construction. The salt was left behind by seasonal water flows, a new study suggests. Each salt is a type that normally needs liquid water to form. Says Jeffrey McCann at The Research Abyss: McCann and Joseph P. Skipper, both researchers into Martian anomalies, call this image "the real smoking gun as to life on Mars." And while they're at it, perhaps they could send another probe to examine some perplexing Martian features that look as though they were built by intelligent creatures. Here's another weird-looking thing on Mars that some observers have likened to a weapon of some kind—like a tank or anti-aircraft gun. This is NASA InSight's first selfie on Mars. Images showed that floods of water broke through dams, carved deep valleys, eroded grooves into bedrock, and traveled thousands of kilometers. Mars pictures from the planet's orbiter show what's called the Korolev crater, and it's a 50.6-mile in diameter crater full of crystal clear ice — could be promising, no? A video on YouTube, from www.whatsupinthesky.com attempting to analyze what it calls a "hand-crafted object" also takes a look at some of the surrounding debris and suggests that it might be pieces broken off of the object. Image released Sept. 26, 2013. From this vantage point—the only one we're offered by the rover—it does resemble a guinea pig as you'd find in any Earthly pet store. Scientists used a spectrometer (Spek-TROM-eh-tur). This curiosity snapped by one of the cameras of the Curiosity rover on the surface of the planet Mars has been dubbed the Mars rodent. [Read the Full Story Here], This image from NASA's Mars rover Curiosity shows a microscopic view of Martian soil targets studied by the rover. Some observers have likened it to a thigh bone. These images of seemingly artificial structures could dissolve into natural formations with more detailed, higher resolution photographs - just as, by most examinations, the so-called "Face on Mars" has resolved into a large mesa. Evidence for Recent Liquid Water on Mars: Channels and Aprons in East Gorgonum Crater, Schiaparelli Crater Rim and Interior Deposits. Founded in 2003, Science News for Students is a free, award-winning online publication dedicated to providing age-appropriate science news to learners, parents and educators.

So we'd like to get a good explanation for this photo taken by the Mars Express orbiter. A number of questions arise: Are the colors accurate? Surely, metals must have formed on Mars in the same way they have formed on Earth during its creation and evolution. Southwest of the infamous "face" is a group of features that have been called "pyramids" (above right).

Join our Space Forums to keep talking space on the latest missions, night sky and more! The channel forms from water and debris running down the slope from the seepage area. While some amateur observers say that it is very likely the bone of an alien Martian animal, other suggest the resemblance to a bone is mere pareidolia—the tendency for the human brain to find familiar shapes in random formations. Or could it indeed be a man-made object, discarded from the rover itself? These are the first photos showing liquid water on Mars. But there was no evidence of actual flowing water. Taken by the Mars Global Surveyor, the photo clearly shows an ordinary-looking crater with something extraordinary-looking inside it. The orbiter detected a layer of glowing green oxygen in Mars' atmosphere. On Mars, InSight will scrape and tamp down soil on top of the mole to help it dig. A highly unusual rock formation? So scientists believe liquid water must be flowing down the slopes. Without further examination, however, a conclusion cannot be drawn, and we don't know if NASA is planning for Curiosity to take a closer look. Huge river valleys were found in many areas.

February 11, 2014. Is that cookies and cream on Mars? The landforms both on Earth and Mars are divided into three parts: the alcove, the channel, and the apron. The instrument is flying aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a satellite. Breaking News! On February 14, 2001, an international group of nine 10- 15-year-old boys and girls were invited by NASA to direct the camera aboard the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS). The view looks back at the rover's tracks leading up the north-facing slope of Knudsen Ridge, which forms part of the southern edge of Marathon Valley. If so, he got there ahead of all of us! He calls it "Bio-Station Alpha," which of course is not its real name, but he assumes someone or something is living in it. It is the most lightweight of the structural metals and is about as electrically conductive as aluminum. This artist's illustration shows the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter as it orbits Mars. Grant. A photo of a preserved river channel on Mars, taken by an orbiting satellite, with color overlaid to show different elevations. NASA and its associated research teams don't agree with this conclusion. Image released Sept. 26, 2013. It's an odd shape and round hole in the end (as if for a tube fitting) makes it look like a manufactured object.

Those are big rocks! They don't look anything alike. Does this photo show freestanding or flowing water on Mars?. New data suggest that during parts of the year, water flows on Mars. A recent photo taken by the Curiosity rover shows its current location, known as "Teal Ridge." But how do we account for lights that seem to move about? One of them is shown here compared to an Earth seashell (inset).

E. Engelhaupt. Is this the head of a statue from some ancient Martian culture? The erosion of material at the site of seepage causes rock and debris on the slope above this area to collapse and slide downhill, creating the alcove. Probably not. Image released Sept. 26, 2013. This image was taken by the HiRISE camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter. On the sand, the wind forms ripples and small dunes. “New evidence of a wet Mars.” Science News for Students. Okay, it's probably not a Martian totem pole, but what the heck is that thing? NASA.gov brings you the latest images, videos and news from America's space agency. Near this structure, the article continues, is a large, open, U-shaped culvert or conduit out of which is flowing a great deal of liquid. May 10, 2015.
