A Bear Lookalike on Mars

This image taken in December 2022 by HiRISE on MRO appears to show a bear's face on the Mars' surface, made up of a hill, craters and a circular fracture pattern.

February 01, 2023

A hill with a V-shaped collapse structure, two craters and a circular fracture pattern — possibly the remains of a buried impact crater — appear to form the face of a bear on the Mars surface. This image was captured by HiRISE aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on December 12, 2022.
