Ancient Ash Has Been Creeping Across Mars’ Utopia Planitia For The Past 50 Years – We Don’t Know WhyA wide view of the Martian surface seen from above. The landscape is split into two contrasting halves: the left side is lighter, sandy beige with faint ridges and cracks, while the right side is darker, reddish-brown and more heavily cratered. The boundary between the two regions is uneven and gradual, creating a striking colour contrast across the scene.
