[meteorite-list] Mars Odyssey Finds Possible Cave Skylights onMars

[Dan Wray]

Darren,

What we are talking about here are most likely lava tubes.  These cave like 
structures can run for miles and be quite large and complicated.  When the 
surface is too near, the tube collapses, creating windows, or if you are in 
the cave, skylights.  Relax, this is a perfectly good description.
