Before Christmas, Mars marks an “Angelic figure” near the South Pole.

While Santa is ready Christmas on Earth At Earth’s North Pole, angels are going on holiday The South Pole of Mars. One week before Christmas, a spacecraft spotted an “angel image” and a large heart at the Martian South Pole.

This week, the European Space Agency’s high-resolution stereo camera on the Mars Express captured “a winged image of an angel, complete with halls,” as well as a big heart.
