That's the North side of the impact crater... the lower rim. Note the lighter area at the left foreground where the hovering jets blew stuff around. (I was bored today and watched NASA TV for a while.)

We're already littering Mars.

Pretty soon it will be as bad as Everest (I refrained from including the many shots with dead bodies)....



...or Pensacola Beach around Mobile's graduation time.

Anyway, enjoying the photos.

That's just sad...I am trying to go green as possible but it is a slow process.

I was going to use this comparison. (Everest is trashed too) Here's a representation of what the trash looks like in the space around Earth. If they included the crap over the Americas, I doubt you could tell which continent we were looking at...

My scuba diving spanned many decades. I watched the shallow oceans turn into trash bins....hey it just disappears when it sinks right ?...NO.

Like my kids who shoved the entire contents of their bedrooms under their beds and claimed to have cleaned it up.

Maybe they have future careers with BP.

This is cool.

Not from curiosity, I don't think, but it's a good 'un too. http://www.panoramas.dk/mars/greeley-haven.html

Love this graphic... titled 50 years of Space Exploration.

Very nice, Eric. A great find!

I have been fortunate to have participated in making two of those thin lines happen.

It's always so interesting to look at Mars and the Moon up close. Somehow you feel surprised that it looks so familiar. I had the same feeling when I went to Russia and found the trees and flowers to be the same ones here.....somehow you expect to see at least something profoundly different.
