Most of my posts are about pleasant things -- with the occasional rant about things that perturb me!

Cool Photo from Mars (not taken by me!)

Mars rover Curiosity photographed a shiny, metallic-looking object that resembles a door handle or a hood ornament.  Unfortunately, Curiosity has not stumbled onto evidence of an ancient civilization that took the family van to Olympus Mons for vacation.  Scientists say, the object is simply a rock that the wind has sculpted into an interesting shape (but, you never know!).

Whatever the case, Curiosity takes awesome photographs!

(Object is in the center at the top of the photograph.)

 
 
I don't know . . . sure looks like a hood ornament to me!
