Melted signs on Mars hint volcanic past under Curiosity’s investigation

Curiosity rover on Mars registered melted signs observed above a Martian rock surface. These signs suggest the possibility of past volcanic activity, supported by the significant heat produced during volcanic eruptions, which can lead to the melting of rock formations. The thermal imaging camera on Curiosity detected these distinct features on Mars’ surface, potentially remnants of past volcanic processes. Examining the data from Curiosity’s Sol 3976 mission, conducted on October 13, 2023, we uncover evidence of these melted signs. They raise questions about past geological or environmental processes that could have contributed to their formation. Previous findings from Mars Exploration Rover missions, such as the presence of sulfate-rich veins, indicate the past existence of water on Mars, which may have played a role in the creation of these melted signs.
