Relating to Mars Express: "At the same time, ESA’s Mars Express mission is continuing its investigations of Mars, painting a new picture of the 'red planet'. This includes the first ever probing below the surface of Mars, new geological clues with implications for the climate, newly-discovered surface and atmospheric features and, above all, traces of the presence of water on this world." |

"Becquerel is an interesting spot though, it hosts the infamous "White Rock" deposit..."
Becquerel has a white-rock like deposit, but not "White Rock" That is located in a crater in Sabeaus Sinus, east of Sinus Meridiani and East of the Schiaparelli Basin. There are a number of craters in the Oxia Palus region east into Arabia that contain erodable layered deposits. Henry Crater in Arabia has the largest, there's another smaller one nearby. The White Rock deposit is much more noticable than the others, as it's in a low albedo region and has high contrast with the dark more or less basaltic sands in those regions. The others are in intermediate to high albedo regions. |
