Agree, or the Sierras. And the image below appears it could be the high desert areas of CA. But it's the surface of Mars. One of my favorite.

On May 19th, 2005, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit captured this stunning view as the Sun sank below the rim of Gusev crater on Mars. This Panoramic Camera mosaic was taken around 6:07 in the evening of the rover's 489th martian day, or sol. Spirit was commanded to stay awake briefly after sending that sol's data to the Mars Odyssey orbiter just before sunset. The image is a false color composite, showing the sky similar to what a human would see, but with the colors slightly exaggerated. (NASA/JPL/Texas A&M/Cornell)

Another favorite!

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)

Very cool. Thanks for posting. Not everything here HAS to be about politics.

Nice image. Thank you.

[Alas Babylon!]

Can someone point out where Bruce Willis’s team is in the photo? They are supposed to be drilling into the comet somewhere, no?

That human zit like point? Is that Ben Affleck?

[Flash Bazbeaux]

Hah! That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture. Like instantly.

You bet. And after the 2+ year long butt ugly Democrat spectacle of lies, collusion and corruption, one can only take so much disgust.☺

I guess I’ll reveal my weak science knowledge, how does snow survive without an atmosphere?

See #6.

I don’t see the American flag, though....................

Speaking of which, has anyone noticed, in the TV advertisements for The First Man, the shot of the American flag on the moon next to the Eagle? Maybe they caved to pressure???

[Red Badger]

Haven’t seen any except for the Direct TV..................No flags..............

[Red Badger]

Looks like 29 Palms MCB..........................I was stationed there in 1973..............

Hold your wallets tight. Every single time NASA wants more money (as if they don't have enough already) they grab the picture of the day to get you all to swoon.

Does anyone realize that we could end hunger and homelessness right now and today if NASA would give a damn about this planet and our people?

They only care about other planets that they may or may not be lying about.

Hey! Why aren't there any stars on that pic of them on the moon? Such bad graphic artists in those days.
