Mars Express’s High-Resolution Stereo Camera captured the spider-like formations in the region of Mars called Inca City.
Spiders have been spotted on the Red Planet, though not the actual ones, which would have been a revolutionary discovery of life on Mars.
As per the ESA release, hundreds of such features sprout on the surface “when spring sunshine falls on layers of carbon dioxide deposited over the dark winter months.” “This same process creates characteristic ‘spider-shaped’ patterns etched beneath the ice – and so these dark spots are a telltale sign that spiders may be lurking below.”ESA’s Mars explorers, including the Mars Express and the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter , have provided remarkable images of these phenomena. The spiders lie on the outskirts of Inca City.
