ESA discovers butterfly-shaped crater on Mars revealing impact, volcanic activity, and possible water
Mars Express has found a unique butterfly-shaped crater on Mars. This formation resulted from a space rock hitting at a low angle. The impact ejected debris in two lobes, creating wing-like structures. Scientists believe subsurface ice or water may have been involved. The area also shows signs of ancient volcanic activity.
