2 million black 'streaks' on Mars finally have an explanation, solving 50-year mystery

A recent analysis of data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has provided new insights into the dark 'slope streaks' on Mars, which number approximately 2 million. This analysis challenges the long-held assumption by researchers regarding the formation of these streaks, which have remained a mystery for 50 years. The findings suggest that the majority of these streaks did not form as previously believed, marking a significant advancement in our understanding of Martian geology.
