Explanation: There, just right of center, what is that? The surface of Mars keeps revealing new surprises with the recent discovery of finger-like rock spires. The small nearly-vertical rock outcrops were imaged last month by the robotic Curiosity rover on Mars. Although similar in size and shape to small snakes, the leading explanation for their origin is as conglomerations of small minerals left by water flowing through rock crevices. After these relatively dense minerals filled the crevices, they were left behind when the surrounding rock eroded away. Famous rock outcrops on Earth with a similar origin are called hoodoos. NASA's Curiosity Rover continues to search for new signs of ancient water in Gale Crater on Mars, while also providing a geologic background important for future human exploration.

His playing is out of this world. < P>
definitely not as interesting as this might be
Looks more like something you’d find in a Vaxxed blood sample.
If it starts moving after you start digging it up...run for your life!
I bet those Martian hoo doos are full of gold nuggets. A plaser miners dream!
Looks kinda like the little guys in Men In Black drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes in the break room.
Those are Mars Chameleons. The Mars astronauts will find they are vicious and will strip em clean to the bone.
I was thinking that they could be giant sand worms.
I have tickets! Boston Garden in September.
Eric has been on my Bucket List for 50 YEARS.
I got to see him in Nashville in sometime before 2018. Not sure what year. Great Concert. They had the big screens up so they could zoom in on the guitar work. Awesome.
I think he is coming back here in September, but I’m still laying low.
My two sisters and i are going...Girls’ Night Out! :-)
Either way you will be eaten!!
