Still amazes me greatly we have a robot cruising Mars and sending photos such as this....it’s almost mindboggling to imagine...but there it is!
Thanks for posting these astronomy pics of the day. You are my unofficial supplier of desktop backgrounds. This is a good one.
Fake. The pic was taken in Nevada.
One of my favorites.
Clouds above the rim of "Endurance Crater" in this image from NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. These clouds occur in a region of strong vertical shear. The cloud particles (ice in this martian case) fall out, and get dragged along away from the location where they originally condensed, forming characteristic streamers. Opportunity took this picture with its navigation camera during the rover's 269th martian day (Oct. 26, 2004). (NASA/JPL)

This animation shows key events of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission Curiosity rover, which will launch in late 2011 and land on Mars in August 2012.
On a visit to the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2005, Jackson Lee made embarrassing news by asking if the Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag planted there in 1969 by Neil Armstrong.[2]
Prior to the 110th Congress, Jackson Lee served on the House Science Committee and on the Subcommittee that oversees space policy and NASA.

Sir Charles thinks that NASA is well aware that there is already evidence of past life on Mars. They have been covering it up for a while. Now, he speculates, NASA is going to announce before the Chicoms or Russians have a chance to steal their thunder.
They look like seashells to me.
