apod 4.2



This is a picture of layered rock outcrops found in Aureum Chaos, which is found on the planet Mars. These layers are composed of volcanic ash or dust or sediment deposits. I just think this is a very cool picture. It is unlike anything i have ever seen before. These rocks look somewhat like waves. I also think it is interesting how Mars is usually thought of as being red, but this picture shows a distinct blue.
