Our Robot Photographers
Are these outstanding or what?
Curiosity's photo of a landscape a tiny bit reminiscent of Utah. Doesn't it take oceans to make layered rock? Or is that layering a result of volcanic activity? Or does it just look like layering ?Wind erosion? I don't know.
Titan, one of the few moons outside of science fiction with an atmosphere, nearly bisected by Saturn's magnificent rings seen nearly edge on. By any criteria, this is a stunning photo.
