Explanation: What created this unusual hole in Mars? The hole was discovered by chance on images of the dusty slopes of Mars' Pavonis Mons volcano taken by the HiRISE instrument aboard the robotic Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter currently circling Mars. The hole appears to be an opening to an underground cavern, partly illuminated on the image right. Analysis of this and follow-up images revealed the opening to be about 35 meters across, while the interior shadow angle indicates that the underlying cavern is roughly 20 meters deep. Why there is a circular crater surrounding this hole remains a topic of speculation, as is the full extent of the underlying cavern. Holes such as this are of particular interest because their interior caves are relatively protected from the harsh surface of Mars, making them relatively good candidates to contain Martian life. These pits are therefore prime targets for possible future spacecraft, robots, and even human interplanetary explorers.

I have to admit, I get emotional about the Peace Corp.

Please indulge me with these 9 pics.

They were taken by my G-son on his ODFW job in NE Oregon.

Right on!

Lil' Griff used this tune for her Chief Joseph presentation a couple years ago...

Lil' Griff made a remarkable choice.

Part of the trouble with getting old is that too many things make me emotional.
This got to me too.

Thanks Griff

It gets me every time.

Beautiful, just beautiful. Stunning part of the world.

Here's what brought me looking for this thread:

The street artist Banksy has been busy bringing his particular vision of the Olympics to London. He's posted pics of his latest efforts, without naming their locations. It is to be hoped that those currently organising the graffitti cleanups will recognise a Banksy when they see it and not clean it away!

Hubble's view of the Orion Nebula. This is supposedly the sharpest image ever taken of the Orion Nebula.
