Curiosity Rover Finds Spiderweb-Like Patterns on Mars

Curiosity Rover Finds Spiderweb-Like Patterns on Mars

NASA's Curiosity rover found interesting spiderweb-like patterns on Mars.

These patterns, called boxwork, are made of hardened minerals that were left behind by water billions of years ago.

Scientists think the water carved away the surrounding rock, leaving the mineral ridges.

These patterns could help scientists understand if Mars was once able to support life.
