- Jeff,
-
- I tracked down the website where the photo of water on
Mars came from and then came across a series of photos that showed a blur
in the distance. It apparently intrigued the NASA scientists because they
took picture after picture of the object in the distance and then actually
moved the rover over to the object to take a closer look.
-
- In the attached link, you'll see that an actual craft
that has crashed and burned on Mars. Is it a probe from the US or Russia
that crashed? I'll leave that up to the viewer and NASA to decide. It is
clearly a metallic object and a crash site.

- Hi Jeff,
-
- I think you will find the answer to What Crashed on Mars
here:

-
- "...After successfully climbing out of the stadium-sized
crater, engineers are now steering the robot toward a part of the spacecraft's
entry hardware. The discarded gear tumbled to the surface of Mars, part
of the landing equipment that protected the rover from its heated plunge
through Mars' atmosphere in January."
-
- Merry Christmas to all,

- It's the rover's heat shield which was jettisoned during
descent.
