Circle sand dunes on Mars Nasa MRO spacecraft captured the picture full details

American space agency NASA has been exploring the red planet Mars for the last several years. NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft has taken a picture of sand dunes on Mars, which appear in circles. This picture has been captured by the High Resolution Imaging Experiment (HiRise) color camera installed in MRO. It is being said that many types of sand dunes are commonly seen on Mars, for the first time round shaped sand dunes have been captured.

University of Arizona Quoting planetary geologist Alfred McEwen, it has been written that these sand dunes, while being circular, are also slightly asymmetrical. Looking at them it is clear that sand usually flows with the winds coming from the south direction. According to the report, this picture was taken in November last year, when researchers were studying this area during the cold season. Researchers were studying frost in this area. This picture shows that there was no frost anywhere in the area.

The HiRise camera on MRO is controlled by the University of Arizona. It has high resolution equipment. It was launched in the year 2005. Since 2006, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been studying the atmosphere and areas of Mars. It also serves as a major data relay station for other Mars missions.

This is not the first time that a shape on Mars has surprised scientists. Recently NASA had shared another amazing picture of Mars. This picture of the surface of Mars was very interesting in which a bear’s face was seen forming. The possibility of there being a volcano in it was also expressed.
