To continue this week's "What Makes America [Humanity] Great" theme series, we ask more questions.

What Makes America [Humanity] Great ?

Is it War ? [a desire for more cows]

Intelligence, Language/Writing, Philosophy, Religion, Art, Literature, Science, Music/Film, Ethics/Morality, Government/Law, Freedom/Enslavement, Goodwill/Selfishness, Adventure/Exploration/Dareingness, Quietude/Stillness, Development of Artificial Intelligence, Asking Questions ???

Can 'greatness' really have a single definition ?

That's a start . . . Until then, let's turn our attention to the planet Mars !

Many countries, not just the USA, have sent exploration spacecraft, including Landers, Rovers and orbiting Observers, to Mars ! And those investigations have led to some very interesting results !!

Being as this is a huge subject for all the 'data' returned from Mars, I'll reduce it to 23 photographs taken of various locations on Mars ! , to contain it into one posting for today, in the "What Makes America Great" topic series leading up to this Saturday's Big Celebration !!! [ I got myself 'overworked' and could not make postings on Thurs. and Fri., apologies. ]

Mars certainly has some fascinating surface features !!! Beautiful, awe-inspiring, mysterious, surprising and inexplicable, and revealing of what its 'past history' very likely was ! These selected photos partially show those descriptions.

So, to begin with, and hopefully in a logical order of selection :

The Winnemucca Institute for Advanced Studies presents:

Mars ! in "500 wide" (or less) cell-phone-friendly size pictures !!

The Landscape Views !! [ 16 ]

Barchan Dunes

- -

Mars Dunes

- -

Dotted Dunes

- -

Sand Dunes Thawing

- -

Striped Dunes

- -

Almost Trees; in how 'ice' did a 'landslide' down the dune slope, revealing the 'dark' material 'underneath' the surface 'pinkness'.

- -

The Opportunity Rover Looks Back

- -

Mars Cheese ; very interesting patterns ! not exactly 'cheese' to me, but that's what APOD called them.

- -

D of A 9 - or "Delta of Aram Chaos area #9"

- -

Sculpted Layers in Firsoff Crater

- -

Mars Ridges, or Snake and Dragon Skin Scales

- -

Noctis Labyrinthus

- -

Hebes Chasma - 'Square Canyon' mystery construction event

- -

Eastern Floor of Aram Chaos

- -

Iani Chaos

- - -

and now . . . The Anatomical views !! [ 7 ]

the classic "Face on Mars" !

- -

Cydonia area - the Face on Mars - In this different 'lighting angle' the 'face' almost disappears !

- -

Close-up of the Face on Mars - In this 'lighting angle' it totally dispels the 'face illusion' !

- -

Mars Happy Face Crater !! Lol ! How did this amazingly perfect Winking Smilely Face manage to be created by Nature !!!

- -

Pin-Stripped Suit of Mars

- -

The Tatooed Ass of Mars

Lol ! The APOD page has this in a 180 degree 'flip over' and it does NOT look like this at all !!! By accident I rotated it 90 degrees and that brought the question of , "what would it look like with another 90" ? Lol !!
APOD calls it "Dust Devil Burn Marks on Mars Dunes" Did anyone at APOD know they really had the,
"Tattooed Ass on Mars" !! Lol or is that why APOD 'flipped it' 180 degrees !

- -

Mars - "Delta of Athena" or perhaps, "Delta of Venus" , or "your descriptive name" . It's just ; how in the world did the 'curly' structures get formed by Nature ?? This to me is the most complex and 'inexplicable' of Mars fascinating structures !!!
