Maybe that was where they pulled the plug out and drained the oceans..........
In related news Bawney Fwank has turned his attention from Uranus to Mars...
Underground nuclear testing ? For when they invade earth because of global warming
Very interesting. Looks like the holes where there are lava tubes on mars but that isn’t a lava tube.
Personally, I think we’re wasting our time on the surface. The Martian underground is where the real discoveries await.
So the sand worm can get out
Reminds me of the hole (trap) constructed by ant lions in the dusty soil. Maybe we have neighbors?? ;-)
The light appears to come from the upper right to the lower left of the image.
In the enlarged image the lack of a lava flow shape, and the conical shape of the dark center are consistent with this being a cinder cone from a basaltic type of rock.
The near perfectly circular shape of the outer crater lip is consistent with a very high angle ( almost 90 degrees ) of impact.
Thus, assuming all these observations are correct, it is possible that the dark colored cinder/rebound cone has been formed by ejection of rocks very deep below the impact crater.
All of this is in my humble, but ALWAYS correct opinion.
It leads to the UFO base.
Just looks kinda like a giant bubble in the lava rock and the center top fell in, maybe...
Double, double toil and trouble...Fire burn and cauldron bubble...
Because it’s there?
Does Venus have a hole?
That is clearly one of those spots where the sand swirls around and sucks in the unsuspecting to have that probe inserted into their skull.
maybe it broke through to a cave underneath? There are known to be lavatube-type caves all around Olympus Mons after all
It is nothing but one big mushroom. Yummy.
My guess is a massive explosion turing the crater into a glass like funnel. Fluid erosion ate away at the softer material under the glass funnel leaving a void. Must have had a very wet surface at one time.
Oh man, I could see millions of muslims marching and chanting around that thing
Good heavens, that telescope could see if my car were parked in my driveway on Mars.
That’s where the locals hid those missing landers.
