Mysterious Circular Landform on Mars

Earth is out of focal range for jupiters planetary destroying laser.... So it takes it anger out on mars....

To all the board's band of debunkers, did you do the work?

yet the image was released in the 'incorrect' perspective. why?

Seeing how articles about this "thing" mention possible volcanic activity, I just realised that this "thing" could be a shallow and heavily eroded volcanic plug.

Fingers crossed for futher MRO observations, using its scientific filters that help determine mineral composition.

The image was map projected, meaning oriented with north being toward the top.

It looks like something hot was boiling under the land, and it inflated. Somehow, it leaked its hotness in a non-explosive manner, and the land, stretched like a pregnant woman's belly gently fell back in place, but becoming rippled because it was so much stretched.

Best idea I could think of. Where is my prize now NASA? lol

But it probably happened that way.

Best reply here.

That's evidence of subsurface non-explosive ( if there was fast conflagration , or rare indeed, combustion of some kind THIS WAS THE secondary evidence of that thermal disparity) thermal expansion that appeared and then cooled rapidly. Methane ( and other ) gas deposits ( that are under pressure from being underground ) do this on earth , even occassionally creating islands that "magically" surface from the ocean not a baby bump

Clearly mars had a VERY rapid TRANSITION from one thermal ( over all ) state to another , internally, ...

interestingly since Mars is closer to moon sized than Planet sized this kind of feature would indicate a not so small finger of evidence that mars was once a moon and that it was heated beyond what is available by solar retention by gravitational stresses ( like IO) , and once that was ( catastrophically ) taken away ... the now undercooked pot pie had some bubbling
