So converted was I by the 'Space Gallery' discussion that I have posted one of my own. This image was taken by the ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft. It shows a patch of water ice sitting on the floor of an unnamed crater near the Martian north pole. © ESA/DLR/FU Berlin (G. Neukum)

Wow! What a great gift from space. Perhaps this image will create food for thought to those who believe we must be alone in the universe.

Yeah, I cleaned it up a little and changed the aspect ratio to 4:3, thus cropping it slightly. I think it was the wonderful contrast of the colours that drew me to it, as well as the possibilities it represents.

I had not run across this one. Wonderful possibilities, I wonder how certain they can be of the chemical content, H2O and the percentages. Maybe we'll find out in my lifetime...

Not sure - check out the ESA site. I think the colours are extrapolated.
