probe Martian Reconnaissance Orbiter belonging POT captured the crater in the form of an “ear” in Mars.

The sight was made with HiRise MRO cameras installed by the University of Arizona.

ear of mars

According to the HiRise team, the fact that we see the ear in the crater is a pareidolia effect that causes people to relate shapes to other recognizable ones, especially body parts.

“Is it pareidolia when we see features like faces and patterns that don’t really exist if the shape really looks like something? In this case, we are looking at an oddly shaped impact crater that looks a lot like an ear,” he wrote to the team. “And once you see it, it’s almost impossible to unsee it.” MRO fixed the plugin at the end of 2020.

Where on Mars is it located?

This crater is about 1800 meters wide and is located in a region called Chryse Planitia, a region of plains in the northern hemisphere of the Red Planet.

Its origin may be related to the fall of meteorites on the planet.

HiRise is the most powerful camera ever sent to another planet. It is equipped with a telescopic lens that creates high-resolution images with infrared observations.
