What it’s about: A NASA robot shared an image of a gate on Mars NASA’s image showing a kind of door dug into the rock on Mars has
NASA’s image showing a kind of door dug into the rock on Mars has stirred the social networks and sparked conspiracy theories that there may be life on that planet.
However, in the face of different versions that caused this photo taken by Curiosity, which has been wandering on the surface of Mars for about a decade and exploring its region, geologists have offered a scientific explanation for this mysterious tunnel. According to the ABC newspaper, experts said it may have formed naturally.
Earthquakes, called “marsquakes”, are common on that planet. “The last one happened on May 4 of this year. Although the exact location is not known, it is very likely that this was the reason for the door in question, since the image was recorded days later, especially on May 7.
NASA scientists said that if you look in detail, the description of the “gate” to Mars is in the photo. This record shows evidence that this cave was formed through “normal geological processes”, Professor Sanjeev Gupta of Imperial College London told The Daily Telegraph.

“The crack is a crack, and it’s abundant on Mars and on Earth,” said even Gupta, who worked with NASA on the Curiosity mission. Inside this cave, the professor said, there is evidence of a “deep crack or rift” in the rock that could have occurred any time in the last hundreds of millions of years.

NASA explains the door on Mars
On the British channel Sky News, where these statements echoed, they stated that the “door” would be a “shear fracture”, meaning that the earthquakes probably caused stress in the rock and caused it to break. some are falling.
On the other hand, perspective would also come into play as there was a lot of zoom in this shot. “The scientists on the team emphasized how small the crack was: about 12 inches by 18 inches,” a NASA spokesperson told Snopes, a fact-check website.
This psychic also insisted that NASA was sure the “door” was a small crack in the rock.
