Lines in the Sand
This stunning image shows the traces left behind from dust devils, that have scoured the top layer of the surface and exposed the darker substrate.
Dust devils are fairly common on Mars, sometimes leaving brighter trails rather than dark ones. Over time, we can see beautiful lines criss-crossing the sand.
Image cutout is less than 5 km (3 mi) across and the spacecraft altitude was 249 km (155 mi). For full observation details including images with scale bars, visit the source link.
