NASA’s Curiosity rover has spent roughly six months exploring a geological feature on Mars known as boxwork: a vast network of low rock ridges, about 3–6 feet (1–2 meters) tall, crisscrossing the ...

NASA's Curiosity rover just found bizarre nodules on giant Martian "spiderwebs." Scientists are puzzled.

NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover has been exploring a curious geological formation made up of ridges up to six feet in height for the last six months.

Strange spiderweb-like ridges on Mars may reveal groundwater lasted longer than scientists thought.
