Will starship land near Inca city, where the spider martians live?
The science behind the ‘spiders’ on Mars and the Inca City
>One of the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars explorers, the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), studies the martian atmosphere and, apparently, “spiders” too.
>These spider come to fruition on the surface of the South Pole during the Mars’ springtime. As temperatures rise and rays of sunlight touch the ice layers of carbon dioxide that form during the colder seasons, the accumulated warmth at the bottom of the layer causes the carbon dioxide to turn into gas.
>Inca City
>Most of the martian spiders tend to be near the outside of the Inca City area. This region is scattered with hills and plateaus that look like the ancient Incan ruins on Earth and was promptly named so. The martian Inca City was first discovered by NASA’s Mariner 9 probe in 1972.
>ESA’s Mars Express took a photo of Inca City, where the cluster of spiders appears like an ink stain on Mars’ surface at the bottom left of the image. In Inca City, researchers identified two types of spider structures: One is reminiscent of spiders with a fat center and short legs, the second is a spider with a larger center and long, thin legs. Some of these spider features can also interconnect, forming a scalelike pattern.
