"White stuff" in trench looks like the same thing as in the upper left corner of the picture, just slightly covered by a thin layer of "topsoil." Why the trench? Did the Rover make it?

That is so unbearably cool! Wide lens, though. I wonder if that's the only one it's got.

You can actually see the curvature of the planet. I didn't know Mars was so small. :-0
