3/16/2004: Layered Mars
http://cellar.org/2004/layeredmars.jpg
I saved this one from APOD before the Mars rovers landed and got all the attention. This is a shot captured from the Mars Global Surveyor, which orbited Mars. Considered interesting about this shot are the layers that you see on the hills. The layers around the hills are described as wide enough to drive a truck around, assuming that you had a truck and that it was on Mars and that you could start it and that you could drive it. The whole shot is about 3 kilometers across. |
That looks like some good hiking!
Provided your eyeballs don't come flying out of your head. |

Well of course the martians practiced terrace farming. They invented the irrigation canal too.

I don't believe this it's a hoax. That's a close up of a teenage boy's chin or a frog's back

The layer-things are cool, but what's all that black splotchy stuff?
Don't tell me-- this new planet has cancer already, doesn't it? |
I think I once saw a Madonna video that looked like this. Is MTV really 'Mars TV'?
It is a perfect way to avoid FCC sanctions. |
What interests me most about this picture is how each consecutively smaller circle seems to be higher. Anyone have an idea of what would cause this phenomenon? Water? Pressure? little martians with bull dozers?
|
Erosion of layers of rock of differing composition?

Wind erosion and rockfall.
