Avalanches on Mars, but no snow
We’re all familiar with the concept of avalanches. If you live in a mountainous region where snow is abundant, you’ve probably already witnessed an avalanche. However, it turns out that Mars is another planet that also experiences avalanches, although these differ slightly from those we experience on Earth. After all, the Red Planet doesn’t experience snowfall like our planet. On Mars, avalanches are mainly made up of dust, as appears to be the case in this image captured on the planet’s surface by NASA’s Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2010. The space agency revealed that this phenomenon generally occurs around April and May. If it’s not a dust avalanche, it’s most likely linked to “falling frost composed mainly of carbon dioxide”.

Zen art” accidentally created on Mars
When life becomes stressful, it’s crucial to seek inner peace. Zen gardens are one way in which many people achieve this state, emphasizing naturalness and simplicity to help find inner serenity. Although these gardens are mainly associated with Japan, they can also be found in other parts of the world. It turns out that this harmony even exists on other planets. In May 2022, the Twitter account of NASA’s Perseverance rover on Mars shared an image it described as “accidental Zen art”. This view probably resonated with those who appreciate the raked sand and rocky landscape so characteristic of Zen gardens. We hope this image brought a little peace to those who contemplated it.
