Martian landscape


What looks like a terrestrial landscape is in fact a recent photo from the Mars Global Surveyor. The "water" is darker sand. More details at Astronomy Photo of the Day. Click photo to enlarge.

I love pix of Mars. Wish I could walk around down there.

    I considered adding your footprints on the surface but I will leave that up to you.

  2. VERY impressive. Saw the gallery at the product's homepage. It's way more powerful than the terraformer I use for Sim City.

    Thanks!
