First Evidence of a Recently Active Volcano on Mars!

Mars has fascinated mankind for centuries. Named after the Roman god of war, the Red Planet is the epitome of an alien celestial body. Its exploration is currently one of the most important projects in the field of modern space travel. A short time ago, NASA's Perseverance rover landed on the surface of the legendary planet. The first high-resolution images sent to Earth by the renowned space agency made our jaws drop. However, given the dust-covered surface of Mars, the assumption could quickly arise that the Red Planet is a seemingly lifeless celestial body that lacks any geological and volcanic activity. However, as a recent sensational discovery from the ranks of astronomers shows, Mars could still be home to more life than experts had previously assumed. This discovery suggests that Mars still possesses active volcanoes. In the following video we’ll reveal what these might be like and how they differ from the Earth.

I wish I was born when we know more about space

[mattbortz]

The only thing I can say about space, is just, absolutely mind blowing.

[fracturedgamer]

They'd be Marsquakes, not Earthquakes. Just saying it's Mars not Earth. Keep the videos coming. Have a great and safe day.

[lynnemenzies]

wow that video gave me a lot of insight on the red planet on volcanic activity I have never seen one up close before until I saw your video

[decaprioseledem]

This videos got see two times even more this is great merry Christmas 🎅🎄❤

How are we sure that Mars doesn’t have biological hazards that made it lifeless…

[guillaumemaurice]

Thank you for sharing this that was very interesting. Well presented.

It seems NASA has no experts on Mars. Everything is a surprise. Even Earth geologists are fairly ignorant of the processes of mountain formation, pole flips, catastrophic cycles, etc.

So now Mars has blue skies (outside of dust storms) large amounts of water underground (which sometimes flows out on to the surface) Mars quakes, and now probably at least one active volcano, looks like almost everything we were taught about Mars is wrong.

Might want to revise your measurements for several of these features like that massive canyon on Mars which is over 2, 500 miles long and dwarfs the "grand canyon" in comparison .

[mitchbelles]

If we can move Ceres into a collision course with Mars it would make it a habital planet. Might take a while to cool off though

[tturi]

I'm curious how fragile the ground is on the volcanoes

[rjc]

If there is volcanic activity on mars then it a whole new ball game

[lyftjennings]

Fun fact, earth is becoming mars quicker then you think lol

[darul]

This is what i waiting for, finally i know that mars have recent volcanic activity.

[konstantinoslichanidis]

Hello there! This is a very good video! I am sorry friend, but in this video in the beginning you say that Mars, has taken the name from a Roman God...this is wrong, the God name is "Aris" and it is front a Greek Mythology God...the Great 12 Olympus Gods...and forgive me that i correct you with this way 😊...continue the good job with this project!

Olivine is also found in comets, which are rocks, not dirty snowballs. The water is oxygen electrically released from silicates forming OH' ions that further capture another solar proton to make water.

Interesting focused overview of many different facts, focused on the interesting. Interesting indeed!

A lot of errors here. Mauna Loa is not the largest volcano on earth. It's neighbor Mauna Kea is. There is no evidence of tectonics ever having taken place. The valley (canyon) is not a rift valley. We are not sure what it is, but it is almost certainly not a result of plate tectonics. The insight probe did not get any useful data regarding earthquakes because they were not able to get the instrument far enough into the ground to take good measurements. Further, even if they had have been able to do so, they would not have been able to tell where earthquakes were coming from because they would need data from at least two other sources to pinpoint it. (triangulation). That was actually one of the biggest failures of the Insight mission, and there are videos here on YouTube which talk about it. Volcanism (volcanic activity) does not equate, or even raise the chances of there being life on Mars. The only thing which would raise the chances would be the discovery that there is a lot of liquid water under the surface. Though Mars once had water, it has very little of it now. If life exists there, it would have to be some sort of extremophile, and it is doubtful that any extreme life forms would have had a chance to develop before Mars lost enough of it's water and atmosphere. Not impossible, but doubtful as of yet, we have found no signs of life on Mars. We are looking though, and we will continue to look for some time, I'm sure. Most scientists agree though that we will most likely find fossil evidence of microbial life if there was at one time life. We will probably know more about that when one of the probes scheduled for launch and landing sometime in 2030 lands on the edge of the polar ice sheet.

Unsure how you jumped to active volcano activity but it did indicate at-least active geology deep. Much of the mantle has unfortunately been solidified but some of the inner mantel as well as the core would appear to be fluid. Not enough for magnetosphere but not complete dead either.
