A giant “tree stump” crater has been spotted on Mars.

The Mars probe (TGO) took a strange picture from the surface of the red planet, where a circle resembling a giant tree trunk appeared in the scene, with rings and very precise and strange details, which attracted the attention of the scientific community.
The strange scene was recorded by the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), a joint mission between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Russian space agency, Roscosmos, aimed at studying Mars from above.
The rover orbits the Red Planet and collects data from its vast atmosphere. In addition, the orbital motion allows the probe to monitor and photograph the surface of Mars from above through a camera equipped with the Color Surface and Stereoscopic Imaging System (CaSSIS).
The recently revealed image, which was taken by the craft, shows a strange sight, much like a cut tree trunk with concentric circles (which indicate the year when trees).

Scientists confirm that this image is nothing but a huge crater resulting from a large collision on the surface of Mars, and the rings do not indicate the age of this crater, but the strange patterns inside the crater can help researchers better understand what its structure consists of and what happened on Mars throughout its history .

According to the statement from the European Space Agency, scientists are sure of one thing this hole can offer, is that it is filled with sediments rich in water ice; sediments that appeared very early in the planet’s history,

Scientists believe, according to the article published in the scientific journal “livescience”, that these deposits in the impact crater were stabilized due to the change in the tilt of the planet or the axis of rotation over time.

The tilt of the planet, which we feel on Earth, is caused by seasonal variations, and the tilt of Mars has changed significantly over time compared to Earth’s.

The researchers believe that the observed crater “rings” and fissures are the result of environmental changes over time. Scientists speculate that these features are caused by changing seasons and temperatures, causing the material in the crater to expand and contract with heat and cold.
