Posted @withregram • @ancientdestinations On August 20, 1975, NASA launched Viking 1, with its destination being Mars. The Viking 1 was equipped with a landing pod capable of photography that would send data from the surface of the planet. Its main purpose was to determine if there was any form of life on Mars. Viking 1 sent out pods to land on the planet. The pods took pictures to show how the planet looked from the surface.

Pictures were taken of: impressions of depleted rivers; extinct volcanoes; two polar caps where the ice was easily visible; and deserts that may have had ice underneath them. One of these deserts, named Cydonia, had several intriguing features on it. There were several pyramids that seem to be identical to the pyramids in Egypt. However, what was more curious was a sphinx-like formation ten miles away that looked very similar to a face. The formation has been named the "Face on Mars".

“Balhuticaris voltae had an extremely elongated and multisegmented body bearing ca. 110 pairs of homonomous biramous limbs.
The animal’s unusual carapace resembled an arch; it covered only the frontalmost section of the body but extended ventrally beyond the legs.
It had a complex sensory system and was probably an active swimmer thanks to its powerful paddle-shaped exopods and a long and flexible body.
“With a total of 110 post-cephalic segments, Balhuticaris voltae has the highest number of segments recorded among Cambrian arthropods,” the researchers said.
“Multisegmentation (more than 20 segments) is widely present across Cambrian arthropod groups such as jianfengiids, marrellomorphs and in multiple trilobites.”
