Making Tracks on Mars

Posted by michael on from the leave-only-footprints-and-landers dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In a remarkable series of orbital pictures, the Mars Global Surveyor's cameras have imaged the tracks of the Spirit rover on the surface. Individual debris pieces including the backshell and lander are visible with remarkable clarity using an innovative roll of the satellite."

    Looking at the raw images, I don't see even the slightest trace of the items they point out. Seems to me someone just penciled in the tracks and other stuff on the marked up image.

    Take care,
