Summary
| Description |
English: Mudcracks as seen by the Curiosity rover in Gale crater These are formed from deposits of Ca and Mg sulfates. The hexagon shapes imply that water saturated the area and dried out many times; hence, the existence of water was not just a one time, short lived event. |
