NASA has released a picture showing the impact of an unknown object on Mars.

It is said that till now some unknown object has had an effect on Mars. According to NASA, it should have left a crater on the surface.

New crater discovered on Mars

A NASA spacecraft has discovered a crater on the surface of Mars. It seems new and, according to the researchers, should not have even reached 20 years. Also scientists are sure that it will be visible for a long time.

According to the estimates of NASA, there are more than 43 thousand craters on Mars. Each of these must be more than five kilometers in diameter. In addition, there are about 250,000 other craters on Mars, which are about 1 kilometer in diameter. Science now knows that these meteorites were caused by falling.

NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft with its high-resolution camera has discovered a new crater on the surface of Mars. The orbiter has been orbiting the Red Planet since 2006. And that too can happen when a new crater is formed.

According to the researchers’ first assessment, the new crater is said to have formed between 2006 and 2014. This is an impact crater. The impact ejected many materials from Mars into the air. NASA believes that a piece of rock from space has hit Mars.

science is excited

Such an effect is certainly a great research object for scientists. And he is also sure that he will be seen for a long time. Such events last longer on the surface of Mars. According to the researchers, the so-called plate tectonics is missing here.

This has led to the fact that only 120 impact craters are known on Earth. Maresquakes are also less powerful than on Earth, so surface movements are also limited here.
