An unmistakable similarity to note are the tendrils which extend beyond the rims of the circular areas in both the CRT experiment and the image from Mars. The image below also shares those features. It was created during a burst of electric energy to an energized crt screen. Many similar patterns point to the mars feature being a micro burst of electrical energy at macro proportions. In the CRT experiment there were several phases of the interaction that led to one feature. A downward burst of energy drove material from the surface in all directions from a central point then a return interaction brought material back to the probe in twister fashion. Disturbed material then was attracted to the tendril regions as other discharges were made with adjacent areas.

Material streamed from my finger to these tendrils.
