Mysterious Martian Cave Prompts Speculation




Recently NASA said they believe there may possibly be life in ancient caves on Mars

NASA released a fascinating image capture of a large cave entrance on the slopes of a Martian volcano.

The image which was posted on March 1st as NASA’s ‘Astronomy Picture of the Day’, is remarkably clear and shows the slopes of Mars’ Pavonis Mons volcano, and also shows a depression in the ground with an opening at the bottom that drops into a subterranean cavern.

The image was taken by the HiRISE instrument aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter which has been orbiting the Red Planet for more than 14 years.

The cave opening measures 35 meters across and descends 20 meters down, according to NASA.

How it came to be, or what may lie inside, remains a complete mystery.

“Why there is a circular crater surrounding this hole remains a topic of speculation, as is the full extent of the underlying cavern,” NASA wrote.

“Holes such as this are of particular interest because their interior caves are relatively protected from the harsh surface of Mars, making them relatively good candidates to contain Martian life.”

“These pits are therefore prime targets for possible future spacecraft, robots, and even human interplanetary explorers.”
