I know that MOC and HRISE have shown us how dynamic Mars really is. Polar avalanches and moving dunes and CO2 evaporation at the S. Pole.
Just did not expect to see quick changes in Opportunity images. Here we are on the east rim of an ancient crater that has seen (as Doug pointed out) G-years of wind erosion. And Oppy caught that process in the act. How evocative is that! Stu, I think there is a poem here. Irony is that I have always thought Mars is more active than we give him credit. then we see direct evidence of that and I question it. Man.... I love these rovers and orbiters and all the people who make this happen. And THIS forum.... Craig |
