The European Space Agency’s Mars Express vehicle captured images of spiders on Mars. While the captured images of Mars “spiders” look similar to the spiders we see on Earth, they’re not exactly what you’d expect. Instead, Martian spiders actually represent dark spots ranging from 45 meters to a kilometer wide, which began to appear in the spring when gas erupted from the Martian surface, bringing with them dark material from below the surface. These spots stand out directly on Mars and are so named because they look like ruins when viewed. What Do Martian Spiders Look Like? The European Space Agency this week shared a haunting image of ‘spiders’ on Mars, revealing how the Red Planet’s surface changes with the seasons. The European Space Agency also notes that the spiders appear to be crawling across high hills and vast plateaus, but they are not actually moving at all. However, you may be mistaken when you look at the image. Inca City and the spiders mentioned above were first detected by NASA’s Mariner 9 probe in 1972. Since then, Mars Express has captured high-resolution images of the region thanks to its High Resolution Stereo Camera. The European Space Agency states that it is not sure how Inca City was formed, but it remains a place we would like to explore in more depth when we can send a manned mission to Mars.
