The Jewels of Mars

A series of microscopic views showing tiny Martian dust grains taken by the optical microscope on board the Phoenix lander. Look at the original size to see an animation of grains settling in the pile.

 

This stretched color picture was built from the raw images by the talented Stuart Atkinson.
