This morning I found this link over at Digg and figured that our resident sicnce and geologist geek, Walt, would love this, so I IMed him with the link, then I figured that everyone would want in, and figured that I’d post it as well.
What we are looking at is a high definition picture of the surface of Mars:
This breathtaking 3D landscape was constructed with high definition images taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express orbiter. The new observations show Hebes Chasma, a strange mountain region nested inside the canyon, with channel-like fingers reaching out into the Martian landscape. The imaged region shows features down to a resolution of 15 meters per pixel, an awe-inspiring view… in stereo!

That reminds me, I think I have a cavity that needs filling.

As I already did my dental joke earlier today in a direct communication to Walt, I’ll spare you all from my having to repeat it, just take my word that it was, well, a groaner.
