Martian 'Happy Face' Crater

Posted by timothy on from the cuteness-in-space dept.

Astroturtle writes "The two pictures shown here are taken from the same daily global image mosaic (the only difference is that each was processed slightly differently). The pictures show Galle Crater, informally known as 'Happy Face,' as it appeared in early southern winter."

  2. What they didn't disclose... by stefanlasiewski · · Score: 4, Funny

    What they didn't disclose is that the Happy Face was purposely built over 20,000 years ago by 13-year old Martian OMIMers (Olympus Mons Online Instant Messenger), and that about 50 miles southwest of the giant happy face are 2-kilometer high pyramids arranged in a pattern that spells "LOL , BRB!"

    The happy face logo is now seen on the Red Planet? What next? Falling prices on falling stars?
