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.

Read previewYet another study is calling into question a Harvard professor's claims that metallic balls discovered under the ocean may have been made by aliens . Johns Hopkins University-led (JHU-led) research said a blip on the seismometer that Loeb used to pinpoint the crash site may simply have been caused by the vibrations of a passing truck. AdvertisementPinpointing the crash siteIn 2019, Loeb and his team searched databases for unusual meteors that were moving rapidly. The meteor, dubbed by Loeb's team IM1, was first spotted by the Department of Defense's (DoD) sensors. Loeb's team recovered 805 spherules.

☆ Descoperirea făcută de cercetătorii, după ce au măsurat miezul planetei Marte

Oamenii de ştiinţă au măsurat pentru prima dată în mod direct miezul unei alte planete, prin intermediul misiunii InSight a NASA pe Marte şi au descoperit că nucleul Planetei Roşii este considerabil mai mare decât estimările anterioare, relatează luni Science Focus, potrivit hotnews.ro. Datele au fost obţinute cu ajutorul unui seismometru, a explicat Divya Persaud, specialistă în planetologie la University College London (UCL), care nu a fost implicată în cercetare. InSight a detectat sute de evenimente seismice în primul an al misiunii sale pe Marte. Măsurând intensitatea acestor semnale şi modul în care interacţionează cu materialul subteran, oamenii de ştiinţă pot detecta structura internă a planetei. Echipa InSight a folosit aceeaşi tehnică pe Marte.
