  The knobby, pitted terrain is caused when ice is deposited 
  and then sublimates over and over again.

o Strange Patterns in Echus Chasma

  This image shows bright and dark patterns with curving boundaries, 
  a good example of Mars art. What caused this appearance?

o Curiosity Trek

  The Mars Science Laboratory, Curiosity, continues its exciting 
  traverse of Mars. Here, we highlight some of its stops.

o Inverted Streams in the Aeolis Region

  The sinuous ridges in this image display strong characteristics of 
  ancient meandering riverbeds that are preserved as inverted topography.
