"Swiss cheese" holes in the south pole of Mars. The white substance in the picture is dry ice - made of carbon dioxide. The depressions in the dry ice layer reach a depth of only 10 meters. They are formed in the red summer season, when the sun's rays strike at a low angle in the polar region, and reach mainly the steep walls of the depressions - which encourages development laterally rather than in depth. The photograph, in its full resolution, has a resolution of 50 centimeters per pixel. Taken on March 25, 2017 by NASA's Mars orbiter MRO. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. of Arizona.

Why does part of the south pole of Mars look like Swiss cheese?

The image taken by NASA's MRO probe. The black dot is the estimated impact site, and at the bottom of the image you can see a white dot that represents the lander's parachute. These two dots do not appear in a previous photograph of the same area, taken by the probe in May. Source: Nas A.

Be careful of contamination of Mars with terrestrial bacteria - scientists grapple with the question of what the discovery of water on Mars means for life there and for the possibility of landing humans on it

These images taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) are of the nucleus of Comet C/2013 A1 or Siding Spring during the comet's transit near Mars on October 19, 2014. Comet Siding Spring is on its first trip near the Sun and came from the Oort Cloud at the outer edge of the system the sun The image composed of two versions of two of the best photographs of the comet by HiRISE, in the upper part the images from dynamic range, show the nucleus and the bright halo near the nucleus. At the bottom of the image you see two clarified versions of the outer halo, in which the inner area is saturated. The pictures on the left and right were taken nine minutes apart.

The nucleus of the Siding Spring comet that passed by Mars is smaller than expected
