What Is This Picture?
I came across this photo and found it very curious.
What do you think it is? A close-up of a hairy guy with bad skin? To find out, click the "continue reading" link...
According to the MSNBC Picture Stories page I found this on, it's a close-up of Mars' surface.
The high-resolution camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter sent back this image of Vastitas Borealis, part of Mars' Northern Plains. The crisscrossing dark tracks are caused by dust devils - mini-tornadoes that stir up the lighter dust and reveal the darker soil beneath. The picture was taken last Nov. 19 and released Feb. 21.
I really did think it was hairy skin at first.
