    I love pictures from the surface of Mars. The desolation and monotone color of the landscape is beautiful in it’s own way, but I also see those boulders and start to think about their origins and how long they’ve been sitting there. Are they fragments of meteors? Are they pieces of the crust that were ejected in massive explosions from impacts? It’s all just so cool!
