Discovery of the 'Noctis Volcano' on Mars, standing at 29,600 feet tall and stretching 450 kilometers wide, unveils a previously undetected colossal geological feature on the planet.
Utilizing data from multiple missions including NASA's Mariner 9, Viking Orbiter 1 and 2, Mars Global Surveyor, and others, scientists managed to uncover the volcano's existence despite challenges posed by erosion and the Martian landscape.
The presence of the 'Noctis Volcano' offers insights into Mars' geologic and potential biologic history, with implications for astrobiology. Additionally, the discovery of a buried glacier ice sheet near the volcano's base raises the possibility of past water activity and hints at the potential for ancient life on Mars.
