Once upon a time

This is what Mars looks like from the Opportunity's mother ship:

Looks like an old river channel does it not?

Hence the fascination with Mars. We know that Mars today is a hostile world, blanketed in toxic soil and zapped with radiation.

This is the landscape close up after the Opportunity Rover had landed on the surface of Mars:

It is from within a small crater on Meridiani Planum Mars.

It is looking up the side of the crater?
