Bizarre ‘dragon scales’ spotted on Mars
- NASA's Curiosity rover spotted peculiar polygon shapes on Mars this month resembling fossilized 'dragon scales' as it journeyed toward the 33ft-wide Antofagasta crater.
- Abigail Fraeman, Deputy Project Scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, explained that honeycomb-shaped polygons crisscross the Martian surface in unprecedented abundance across the terrain.
- Social media users expressed excitement over the discovery, with comments including 'Here lies dragons!', 'Almost looks like scales' and 'Dragonscale!' celebrating the mythical resemblance.
- NASA is currently collecting chemical data to determine if these textures formed as the Martian surface dried out and cracked over millions of years.
- In an unrelated event, five-year-old Mason Abrams was left with a dragon-shaped SCAR after a henna tattoo reaction during a nine-day holiday with his mother, Kirsty Campbell Russell, in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, last year.
