PREVIEW 6: Investigating Mysterious Martian Slope Streaks

John Batchelor speaks with Bob Zimmerman about unexplained geological features on Mars called slope streaks. These features resemble stains or avalanches but do not alter topography and lack debris. They sometimes even flow uphill. Theories suggest causes like dust or brine, but the exact mechanism is unknown. The Curiosity rover recently captured an image of a potential slope streak, offering a unique opportunity to study them closely and understand their origin.
