Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>The bluish shapes that can be seen in the photo are actually traces left on the planet’s surface by dust devils. The European Space Agency has released a new photo of the surface of Mars, which was taken earlier this month by the CaSSIS camera onboard the ESA\/Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. The photo shows part of Argyre Planitia, in the vicinity of the Hooke Crater in the planet’s southern highlands.<\/p>\n

As the space agency explains in the picture’s description, the scenery seen in the picture seems rather similar to what is known as Mars’ \u201cchaos terrain\u201d – patches of surface that feature \u201chaphazard groups of variously sized and shaped rocks\u201d clumped together and \u201coften enclosed within depressions\u201d.<\/p>\n

The bluish wispy tendril-like shapes that can be seen in the picture are actually traces left by dust devils, whirlwinds of dust that occur both on Mars and on Earth; the colour of these shapes is the result of three filters that were combined to make the image.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2016, Trace Gas Orbiter arrived at the orbit of Mars later that year and started its mission in 2018. Along with supplying images of the planet’s surface, the craft is also expected to provide \u201cdata relay services\u201d for the second ExoMars mission that is supposed to arrive at the Red Planet in 2023, as ESA points out.<\/p>\n
