  • These arent "trees" that are on Mars. They are CO2 geyzers which begin to vent during the start of the martian summer due to warming temps near the poles. This dense venting gas vents relatively high into the atmosphere casting a shadow, and thus creating the illusion of tree-like structures. The martian soil is almost entirely made of iron oxide (rust) which doesn't contain any nutrients which could support tree growth, nor does it have any traces of liquid water. Mars is a very dead place.

  • @RaGaZzAcCiO23 have you been there ? you talk like you live on Mars ... or you are just repeating what NASA told ...?

  • @psyhokinetik Yeah I've been to mars I have a house there LOL. There's a good possibility that there was once was life on mars at one time. There is hard evidence that water once existed on the surface. Whether life exists or not underneath the surface where liquid water may still be in tact is a different story. The reason they knew this wasnt "trees" is because these "treelike images" disappeared after the martian summer.

  • @ufo1667 Go to Google Earth sky view and type in Mars, then Venus and Mercury. Notice that Mars has a cloud cover and blue oceans. You can only zoom in so far... Then if you pull up the actual Google Mars it's colorized in all browns. Check it out.

    Republicans won't give a cent. (I'm an not biased, I'm just stating the truth.)

  • roung. ther are no trees on mars

  • why would NASA give us black and white photo of all the cool places that I want to see in color ( like AKA trees and body of water ) and if Mars is just a red rock? why the hell we keep going back there time after time hmmm ...what, just to waste our money ..I think the people can handle the truth ... it would be so cool to now how those trees and life evolve on Mars :) so what if we're not along, I think it would be great to learn that we're not ..life is everywere and it will after we're gone

  • I'd be much more interested to find out what these features ACTUALLY are rather than pretending to believe they are forests. Come on people, use your heads.. Any ideas?
