What did eliminated water from Mars ? To study that interesting question. Now scientist and researchers would not need to go to the Red planet.But in the largest District of India,Kutch that also can be studied.
The Jarosite mineral found on the surface of Mars has also been discovered recently at Matanamadh,a Well known devotee place of Ma Ashapura in Gujarat situated 94 km west from Bhuj. Which proves that the land is similar to that of Red planet,The only place where Jarosite is found in Basalt Terrain on Earth,Researcher claimed. IIT Kharagpur,Space Application Research Center (ISRO) and National Geophysical Research Institute Hyderabad will be conducting joint studies on the subject.
Professor Sibal Gupta, Head of the geology department at IIT Kharagpur, told the English media that the The study will also help scientists decide on potential landing sites for future missions of NASA and ISRO to Mars. The presence of hydrous sulphate of potassium and ferrous elements in Jarosite Kutch is now inviting researchers for furthermore scientific exploration.
It took about three-and-a-half years for scientists to find the rare mineralogical Jarosite spot in Mathnamadh, and it cost a million. The spectroscopic study and X-ray diffraction pattern method were used for this research. Which shows that hydros, acidic and oxidizing conditions are similar to those on the surface of Mars, scientists claimed. Dr Mahesh Thakkar, Head of the geology department of Kutch University, said that where there is a temple situated on the hill at Mathanamadh, it has been shaped like a saucer on the edge of the hill and the hill on the opposite side. He also confirmed that six NASA scientists had recently came to Kutch for research. However, the images from Rover on Mars was similar to the result of NASA's imaging imagery at Mathnamadh. Now many researchers who are researching the subject of Mars are visiting the kutch.
