Kind of lost for thoughts,so out comes my astronomy picture scrape book.
If flipped open to Mars Husband Hill A picture can give me a thousand
thoughts. The picture was taken by the rover "Spirit" as the Sun was
setting.That's nice because it kind of brings out the rocks an boulders
that sit high on the sandy surface. Boulders have rather sharp edges,and
that tells me they have not been on the ground for long.(Sands of time
have not been working on them) I'll guess and say the rocks are pieces
of a large meteorite. that hit 23,000 years ago. They need a lot more
studying. Husband Hill has been there for a long time. It has been sand
scraped smooth with a two dome tops(Mounds).. On its lower right side it
has a sand dune,with waves of sand. Looks like a shallow crater on the
foot of its left side. Great picture of a great hill. Best to keep in
mind Husband Hill on Mars has nothing to equal it in the whole state of
Florida. Sad but true Bert

You're a good friend, Bert, and i hope you
can fill your thoughts with the sky's awesome
wonders. The real secret of youth is to stay
curious!
