A Beach On Mars

via Gizmodo by Jesus Diaz on 8/13/09

















The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's HiRISE�High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment�camera has captured one of the most beautiful photographs of Mars to date: An oblique view�at 22 degrees east of straight down�of the Victoria Crater, in the Meridiani Planum region.

According to NASA, this unique angle will give scientist a great opportunity to study the geological layers in this area. It looks like a dried lake to me�of course is not�but that's just my ignorant untrained eye making things up.
