Cool thanks for catching this so quickly. I've been following this daily, but they have been slack in updating their web site these past two weeks.

Dumptrucks full of data will do that to you.

Amazing.
I have trouble getting my point and shoot 35 mm to work ... and that photo came from MARS!
Fascinating.

Upon discovering that ball-point pens do not work in zero gravity, NASA spent a decade and $12 billion developing a ball-point pen that would write in zero gravity, upside down, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 degrees Celsius.

The Russians used a pencil.

Looks like water erosion. It comes very close to confirming that water flowed on Mars at some point, and may still be present somewhere.

Even More dramatic, they look like sedimentary formations.

and the strata! Very cool. You could just as well be looking at any desert in the SW US.
