vegetable (???) on Mars?
In this Opportunity image
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/galle...JP2443L5M1.JPG about one-third way down near the center of the row is a very odd-looking feature that resembles a group of stalks sticking up out of the ground. It's most likely a weird rock, but it does look very provocative! Paul -- Email: lastname at best dot com. No spam please. All spam will be complained to sender's ISP. |

It's most likely a weird rock, but it does look very provocative! The rock in the bottom-right (BR) is instructive - a similar close set of parallel lines, but *not* oriented vertically (in the plane of the picture. That in itself is suggestive that the orientation of the CT structure is an accidental alignment. The presence of the BR rock is a good indicator that there is an appreciable quantity of thinly-layered rock in the area of this photograph, and that this material is susceptible to aeolian (wind-driven dust) erosion which exposes the layering. -- Aidan Karley, Aberdeen, Scotland, Location: 57°10'11" N, 02°08'43" W (sub-tropical Aberdeen), 0.021233 |
