Zoom down to the Gale Crater on Mars
This is a zoom down to the Gale Crater on MARS as seen by Viking and the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC). These images show a very large area of sedimentation inside the Gale Crater. The origin of the sedimentary material remains unanswered. Studying these layers of rocks could answer many questions about the history of MARS.
