PICTURE OF THE WEEK: MARTIAN ROCKS
by Hazed
I still find it an absolute wonder that we can see pictures from the surface of Mars. Sure, all they show are rocks in varying shades of brown, but these are not just any rocks: they are rocks on another planet. How cool is that?
Here’s an example: some Martian rocks showing the kind of layers you’d find in slate. The image was taken by Curiosity last November, and you can see it here.
I could look at this for hours.
