"The primary merit for the picture is to be a feast for the eyes." Delacroix “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” - Steve Jobs "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand." –Dr. Albert Einstein "Wonder is comes from the awareness of ignorance of religious mass"

An ancient riverbed rolls across Mars in this recent image from Mars Express. The large crater at top right, known as Oraibi, is about 20 miles across and is filled with sediments from the water, which was flowing from bottom to top (south to north). The powerful flow also wore down the crater's rim and sculpted smaller craters and hills into teardrop-shaped islands. More recent impact craters, which were created in the sediments, are much sharper. This region is part of Ares Vallis, near the landing site of the first Mars rover, Pathfinder.
