NASA's Mars Curiosity rover has been exploring a curious geological formation made up of ridges that look like spiderwebs from space.

One of the mission scientists leading the boxwork investigation, joined “Jesse Weber Live” on Thursday to discuss the revelation.

The web-like features are believed to be sculpted by ancient groundwater, offering new clues about the Red Planet's watery ...

New photos captured by NASA's Curiosity rover show that Mars' giant, spiderweb-like "boxwork" features are covered in tiny, never-before-seen nodules that bear a striking resemblance to arachnid eggs.

NASA’s Curiosity rover has just come face-to-face with a mystery that has haunted scientists from a distance for years. While orbital satellites first spotted strange, web-like patterns on the ...
