Mysterious polygons are found on Mars
China's Mars rover has uncovered several mysterious subterranean polygons located some 35 feet below its surface that are likely formed by ice. While they can't say for certain just yet how the polygons were formed, the CAS researchers posited in their paper that they were "possibly generated by freeze-thaw cycles" such as those that happen in the winter and spring here on Earth.Credits#brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/idhttps-podcasts-apple-com-podcast-bright-side/id1554898078 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/brightside/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official/ Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en Snapchat - https://www.snapchat.com/p/c6a1e38a-bff1-4a40-9731-2c8234ccb19f/1866144599336960 Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me

00:00 China's Mars rover Zhurong has uncovered weird polygon structures under the surface of the red planet.
00:07 It's a mystery, hinting at the presence of water and maybe even past Martian life.
00:12 The rover spotted 16 of these polygonal wedges about 35 feet below the ground.
00:18 It did it by using ground penetrating radar.
00:21 I mean, NASA also has seen similar stuff before.
00:25 But this is the first time people have used ground penetrating radar to check it out.
00:31 Chinese scientists think these shapes might be left by freeze-thaw cycles.
00:36 You can think of it as our planet's winter and spring processes.
00:40 Experts say these shapes could be from around 3.7 to 2.9 billion years old.
00:46 That's it for today.
