    Araneiform1 terrain on Mars with channels carved by carbon dioxide2 gas.

    Released into the public domain by NASA/JPL-Caltech/UArizona.

    1. araneiforms: Spider-like. These landforms are found only on Mars and visually look like radially converging systems of branching troughs exhibiting fractal properties. 
    2. carbon dioxide: CO2 is a colourless, odourless, incombustible gas. It is a product of cellular respiration and combustion and is an essential component in photosynthesis.
