NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Polar Polygons on Mars” is copyrighted by Malin Space Science Systems, MOC, MGS, JPL, NASA. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

This image, resembling a city street map, shows naturally formed fragmented polar polygons on Mars. These polygons are interesting because they may indicate regions where water ice lies within a few meters of the surface. Similar polygons on Earth's arctic and Antarctic regions form from repetitive freezing and thawing cycles.
