Hi all, long time no see.
Yet another theory to explain the origin for the bedrock encountered by Opportunity. I first heard of this new theory from Universe Today; http://www.universetoday.com/2009/02/16/ne...t-mars-equator/ An abstract is available at http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/vaop/nc...bs/ngeo438.html The theory is interesting, but I would really be interested to know how it explains the spherules seen by Opportunity not to mention the vugs. Thoughts any one? -------------------- |
