Although space agencies are still struggling to figure out how to send the first humans to Mars, many astronomers are convinced that it will be possible. Elon Musk even thinks that most people will be willing to spend a huge amount of money to land on the Red Planet. And who are we to contradict him?
But while astronomers keep exploring Mars remotely through space probes, they have realized an unpleasant aspect. According to WION, NASA has found human trash on Mars. Instead of colonizing the Red Planet, humans seem to be littering it for now.
NASA’s Perseverance rover is responsible for finding human trash on Mars, to be more precise. A piece of foil is the first kind of trash presented in the video. Surely you’re wondering how the debris got there in the first place. The answer might shock you: NASA itself sent it also through the deployment of the Perseverance spacecraft. It likely didn’t happen on purpose, however, as the trash got there when the rover crashed on the Red Planet. Even a piece of a parachute was found on Mars.
Until and if humans will ever go to the Red Planet, it’s nice to see that astronomers are having plenty of fun with the discoveries. For instance, just a few days ago, the Mars Express mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) spotted a “Gigantic Eye” on the Red Planet. Of course, it’s no real eye. Instead, it’s just one of the Red Planet’s numerous craters resulting from impacts with space rocks, and it resembles an eye pretty well.

The peculiar structure has its location in the Aonia Terra region of our neighboring planet. which is located somewhere in the southern hemisphere. If you want to go across the crater on foot, it would be a real pain since it measures 30 kilometers wide.
