NASA labels nearly two-mile Martian structure as pyramidal mound on its website. The structure was discovered by independent researcher Gary Lajeunesse, known as the Mars Revealer. NASA has labeled the structure as a pyramidal mound on their website without issuing a press release. The structure measures approximately 1.8 mi on perpendicular sides and approximately 3 mi corner to corner.
Independent researcher Gary Lajeunesse—the Mars Revealer—found a structure NASA labels only as a "pyramidal mound" on its website, without a press release. It measures ~1.8 mi on perpendicular sides, ~3 mi corner to corner, with 90-degree angles and a truncated apex. Jean Ward spent ~10 years analyzing it using MRO and rover imagery.
Key Facts
- The structure was discovered by independent researcher Gary Lajeunesse, known as the Mars Revealer.
- NASA has labeled the structure as a pyramidal mound on their website without issuing a press release.
- The structure measures approximately 1.8 mi on perpendicular sides and approximately 3 mi corner to corner.
- The structure features opposing 90-degree angles, four equal flat triangular sides, and a truncated apex.
- Jean Ward's analysis using Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and rover photography covered nearly 10 years of research.
- Rovers have consistently landed in bland, featureless terrain to avoid hazards, missing close examination of identified anomalies.
