KOMPAS.com – The United States Space Agency (NASA) has just released photos of a dragon appearing on the surface of the planet Mars.
The dragon sighting was captured by the University of Arizona HiRISE camera connected to NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft.
NASA uploaded it to Twitter on Saturday (11/04/2020).

“We rotated a photo of light colored block material in the southwestern part of Melas Chasma because from this perspective, it is similar to a dragon in Chinese fairy tales.

In fact, this is not the first time that NASA has discovered unique sightings on Mars.
Since the first MRO reached Mars orbit in 2006, the spacecraft has never stopped sending valuable information about the red planet to Earth.
In 2018, MRO cameras found sightings of Pac-Man eating.
Then last year NASA also discovered a dune that looked like the Starfleet logo from the movie “Star Trek”.
A formation similar to the Starfleet logo in the Star Trek movie series on the surface of Mars.This time, for the dragon’s appearance, MRO took a photo of it on July 4, 2007 from a height of 258 kilometers.

However, NASA just released the photo in a rotated state on April 11, 2020.
The light-colored dragon is actually part of the soil of Chasma Melas on Mars, a giant canyon that pierces the remains of an ancient lake that has dried up.
“On the Melas Chasma floor there is a deposit of strange blocks consisting of brightly colored blocks in a matrix of darker colors,” the University of Arizona said on its official blog.
Then the institute continued, HiRISE high-resolution photos revealed layers that were only a few meters thick in various brightly colored blocks.
“These blocks vary in size, but most have a diameter of 100-500 meters,” he added.
