CNN —Scientists may have pinpointed a massive, oddly shaped volcano taller than Mount Everest on the surface of Mars — and it has been hiding in plain sight for decades, according to new research. Some of the largest volcanoes on Mars lie relatively close to the proposed “Noctis volcano.” Shown here: 1) Olympus Mons, the tallest known volcano in our solar system. This NASA visualization of the Tharsis rise shows Olympus Mons, Tharsis Montes, Noctis Labyrinthus, and Valles Marineris. NASA SVSA volcano, a glacier and the history of MarsThe existence of a volcano in Noctis Labyrinthus could also help explain the creation of this bizarre landscape. The existence of a volcano in the region, Lee said, might offer more support for the latter theory.

How mapping Mars could help us live there

“It might sound silly, but maybe in the future it will be very common for people to go to Mars and even live there,” says Atri. EMM/EXI/Dimitra Atri/NYU Abu Dhabi Center for Astrophysics and Space ScienceDust and desertificationAstronomers have been mapping Mars for nearly two centuries. NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Sciences is now using NYUAD’s map in its Mars 24 software, which maintains precise timings on Mars. The new images show details of Mars’ topography, like the Valles Marineris, which is known as the “Grand Canyon of Mars,” in stunning detail. But elsewhere, other researchers are already examining how innovations being developed to grow food on Mars could impact Earth.
