These images, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, show the 'chaotic' terrain of the Aureum Chaos region on Mars.<br /><br />(click for pics)
The first time I watched the image, I was thinking light came from top left corner (like we are used to see in windows)…<br />That way it looks like raised lines of gold over a flat surface… I had no idea how such a features could be created…<br /><br />Looking again I realized the light came from bottom right, and the lines were carved on the surface. <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /><br />
