NASA's Curiosity rover is currently investigating distinctive formations on Mars, referred to as boxwork, which exhibit a spiderweb-like appearance.
These geological structures are believed to have formed as a result of groundwater interacting with the Martian crust, suggesting historical hydrological activity.
The ongoing research aims to enhance understanding of Mars' geological past, particularly in relation to its potential for having harbored water.
