Yogi Rock on Mars
Explanation:
Yogi is possibly the
best photographed rock on
Mars. By combining many
pictures taken during the
Mars
Pathfinder Mission last year,
scientists were able to create a
super-resolution, digitally enhanced image
that better allows them to study
Yogi's surface
and more
accurately determine how Yogi was formed.
The smoothness of some Martian rocks
suggests previous interactions with water,
implying that
Mars was both warmer and
wetter in the past.
