PICTURE OF THE WEEK: THE DUNES OF MARS
by Hazed
Curiosity, the rover that has done such sterling work exploring Mars, investigated a dune called the Namib Dune situated in the Gale Crater – the first dune outside of Earth ever to be examined.
Last December it sent back an image of the dark dune, showing large peaks about 3 metres apart, of a type only seen underwater on Earth.
