The latest photos from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter reveal more evidence for liquid water on ancient Mars. The blue in the photo is not presumed water, but sand dunes. The halos are the interesting parts.
This orbiter is another great success for NASA, and it will be critical for future exploration.
And the rovers are still going, four YEARS past their scheduled lifetime!
In related news, christians are still waiting to get their good glimpse of Mars during the rapture, when they are pulled up through the universe to heaven by Jesus. Glad we didn't have to wait for their reports...
[Oops, the Orbiter is having some problems. So please ask any rapture-ready christer engineer you know to kindly fix them on their way out.]
Three cheers for those who gave us Spirit & Opportunity!
