Mars, bitch!



Taken in 2005 by the Hubble Space Telescope. I just like the photo.

And with 100% more water than they told us when I was a kid.

Could those long dark cracks be canals after all? Could Ray Bradbury be right after all?

Wouldn't that be cool?

Chalk up another one for Hubble. And, I guess, also chalk one up for whoever it is that aims the Hubble.

Gosh I hope they can keep the thing going. Even aside from the science, it seems like every image you see from the Hubble just makes your heart soar. Thanks for posting this; it looks great on the black background.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Hubble should stay up for years yet- something that makes my heart glad.

Mars doesn't look like that in my backyard 'scope! I looked for the conjuction this morning but there are too many structures blocking my view of the SE horizon :(.
