The planet Mars has revealed an incredible discovery made by scientists who managed to observe something that was not known until recently, but something that shows us how much we still have to learn about this planet. More precisely, thanks to the robots that NASA has on the surface of the planet Mars, and that continue to monitor everything that happens there, we have new proof that its evolution was much different than what we thought.
The planet Mars has a rock on its surface that we also find on Earth under the name ignimbrite, a rock that scientists did not believe could exist there until recently, but which would confirm the fact that the evolution of the planet was based the volcanoes. More precisely, violent volcanic eruptions would have taken place on the planet Mars at some point, and because of them this rock called ignimbrite would have appeared, being present in many regions on Earth.
Planet Mars: HISTORY Discovery with which the Researchers STUNNED the World
The planet Mars had this rock discovered on its surface by two of the robots that have been walking around for some time, and this shows us that all the research that is done during this period can reveal many important secrets. This rock was discovered in two separate areas on the planet Mars, but scientists have only now made the connection between them and say that everything is based on very violent volcanic eruptions.
"There are many ideas for the origin of the olivine-rich bedrock that covers large portions of a region called Nili Fossae, which includes the Jezero crater. It's a debate that's been going on for almost 20 years. It was a eureka moment.
We saw the same type of textures in the rocks of Gusev Crater as those in a very specific type of volcanic rock found here on Earth. No one had previously suggested ignimbrites as an explanation for the olivine-rich bedrock on Mars. And it's possible that this is the kind of rock that the Perseverance rover has driven and sampled over the past year."
The planet Mars has this discovery made as an absolute first, since no one even thought until now that such a rock could exist there, but really unusual things are happening on the planet. Scientists assumed for some time that very powerful volcanic eruptions took place on the planet Mars, but now they say that in fact their power is much greater than it seems at first glance.
The planet Mars is being explored very intensively now because humanity wants to send the first people there, so they are trying to discover as much information as possible before the astronauts are sent, but also that a space base is made.
