Scientists suggest that this impact crater is only a few years old. It is located near the equator.

Scientists have discovered a fresh crater on the surface of Mars. Scientists from the University of Arizona spotted it, studying images of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft, orbiting the Red Planet. Universe Today reported this.

It is assumed that the view of the Red Planet is altered by the effects of rocks in space, leaving impact craters. This is the new thing that scientists have discovered

The photo was taken in July 2020.

“Initially, the MRO spacecraft, using the CTX camera, looks for various anomalies that indicate a change in the landscape of Mars. Then, using the HiRISE camera, which can take more detailed images, the device some areas have undergone changes.Thanks to data from the spacecraft, scientists have discovered that approximately 200 rocks in space fall on Mars a year, but these are usually small effects, “said the scientists.

At the same time, there is no exact data on the size of the crater. But the picture shows bright areas that could indicate the presence of ice.

Recall that the previous Persistence, thanks to two special microphones, recorded five hours of the sounds of the Martian wind, the crackle of the wheels and the sounds of the Ingenuity helicopter engines.
