A NASA spacecraft has taken the first-ever image of an avalanche in action near Mars’ north pole.
The High Resolution Imaging Experiment on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took the photograph Feb. 19. The image, released today, shows tan clouds billowing away from the foot of a towering slope, where ice and dust have just cascaded down.
The camera was tracking seasonal changes on Mars when it inadvertently caught the avalanche on film.
Delightful. The Orbiter doing exactly what it should be doing.
The question is: What made that avalanche?
Why, Dynamic Martians, of course!
gravitation makes avalanches
This is just damn cool, and the kind of things that money should be spent on instead of illegal and immoral wars against brown people.
What are the odds of looking in just the right place at the right time? Cool.
#5 – I’d be against that kind of war too if there were one.
Stampede of the illegal aliens.
Hillary’s delegate count.
And yet again the Du brigade degenerates into pet peeves..c’mon guys ! Give DaBush a little credit for continuing funding for these types of endeavors. I think the Yale cheerleader was a great sock puppet as well but, he gave the space thingie full throttle from the budget and even if it does further Cheney/Halliburtons lofty(pun alert) goals the rest of us get to ride along and that ain’t all bad.
#8 – Regular delegates or superdelegates?
#4 How could it be gravity if the pictures clearly show the avalanche as being side to side?

My friends, this is very possibly one of the most incredible photographs in the history of space exploration!
There are 2 new DIY test kits…one lets you test air, surfaces and water for MRSA/VRE…the lab that tests the sample emails you a report about what it found…and finally the technology used by NASA in the Space Station to keep its air clean and free of MRSA is available for home use…the other kit uses Petri Dishes to test indoor air for germs, virus, mold, etc. which is good for asthmatics and allergy sufferers…I guess you could say it’s good for anyone who breathes.
