Avalenche...on Mars

A NASA spacecraft has taken the first-ever image of an avalanche in action near Mars' north pole.


The High Resolution Imaging Experiment (HiRISE) 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.

Just to show how powerful cameras the space probes carries today. This is a photograph of the Earth and the Moon talke by a Martian space probe from Mars orbit. It is the same camera that took the picture above.
