Interestingly enough, pictures of the unusual formation were taken 3474 on the day of the NASA mission. The representative of the SETI Scientific Institute decided to talk about her case.

In addition, according to the portal Space.com, conditions on the Red Planet can also contribute to the formation of “more sensitive” rocks. The planet’s gravitational force is estimated to be about a third of that experienced by Earth’s inhabitants.
