Mysterious gullies on Mars appear to have been carved by burrowing CO₂ ice blocks
Did life really exist on Mars after all? Unfortunately, there is no conclusive evidence for this yet. Nevertheless, it would seem that some form of life was the driving force behind the mysterious Martian dune gullies. Earth scientist Dr. Lonneke Roelofs from Utrecht University has investigated how these gullies were formed. In a test setup, she observed that blocks of CO2 ice "dug" these gullies in a unique way.

Nevertheless, it would seem that a certain form of life is at the origin of the mysterious gullies of the Martian dunes.

Mysterious gullies have been discovered in the dunes of Mars. They appear to have been dug by living creatures, but that's obviously impossible. Earth scientist Dr. Lonneke Roelofs of Utrecht University proposes a much more plausible explanation: blocks of CO2 ice. There were previous indications of this, but Roelofs has tested it in practice by placing the CO2 blocks […] Want to learn more about science? Read the latest articles on Scientias.nl…
