'Spiders' on Mars? NASA scientists recreate mysterious Red Planet formations
Dubbed "araneiform terrain," the Mars surface formations span over a half-mile long and have hundreds of branches that resemble spider legs, according to NASA.
NASA scientists recreated Mars’ ‘spiders’ in a lab
Lauren Mc Keown of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California said, “I love DUSTIE. It’s historic; the wine barrel-size chamber was used to test a prototype of a rasping tool designed for NASA’s Mars Phoenix lander. The tool was used to break water ice, which the spacecraft scooped up and analyzed near the planet’s north pole.”
Scientists awaken Mars 'spiders' down on Earth in extraordinary experiment
A team of scientists at NASA have confirmed how Mars' 'spider' formations are carved by carbon dioxide. They were first discovered in 2003 and each formation can stretch more than half-a-mile from end-to-end.
