Junior high school students Discover Mysterious Caves on Mars

Sunday, October 10, 2010


A group of students in seventh-grade equivalent of high school I first discovered the mysterious cave on Mars. At that time, they were working on a research project to study the images taken by NASA spacecraft orbiting the red planet. The findings of alleged sightings are the holes in the roof of the cave.
Sixteenth child is a student of Dennis Mitchell's science class, seventh-grade teacher at Evergreen Middle School in Cotton Wood, California. The students were participating in the activity center of Mars Student Imaging Program at the Mars Space Flight Facility at Arizona State University.
The students were asked to make such a research proposal and then allowed to use a camera that was orbiting on Mars to take pictures in order to answer their research questions.
The hole is similar to recent findings that found previously in other parts of Mars in 2007 by Glen Cushing, an American geologist. Cushing's view, the image captured resembled "a pit stop", where most of the roof of the cave or hole collapse of lava flow.
Liang was allegedly caused by volcanic activity on the red planet. At one time, lava flows out of the rock surface and leave scars in the form of burrows after the eruption ended.
The tip of the hole was covered by the material cools and some "pipe" the former lava flows could have been there that collapsed.
So far, scientists have yet to confirm the type of materials stored in the cave. "This hole just for us scientists," Cushing said to the disciples. He estimated the size of the hole was 190 meters x 160 meters and 115 meters deep.
Chasing lava flow
Research students was aimed at hunting down the pipe which is the phenomenon of volcanic lava flows on Earth and Mars.
"They develop a research project with a focus on finding the location of" pipe "lava most prevalent on Mars. What is the phenomenon most often occurs at the top, side, or the plains around the mountain," said Mitchell, their teacher.
They then examined a primary and backup photos from Pavonis Monsvolcano (volcano) on Mars. The picture was taken by the image capturing device Thermal Emission Imaging System (Themis) from the Odyssey, NASA's orbiting. Photos reserves they studied gave a surprise instead: a dark circular image. That image is a hole on Mars that led to the cave was buried on the planet.
The findings will be made clear again using the camera High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The device can display more detail in order to look into the hole.
