Our researchers have discovered what looks
like vegetation on mars from an image
(M08-04688 Prime Meridian 284.38°W) captured by the Malin Space
Science Systems Mars Orbiter Camera on-board NASA's Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) orbiter .

Sifting through the 78,000 images we found this extraordinary Mars
Orbiter Camera image. Does this show vegetation ?
Some we showed it to suggested trees, or some form of moss, or even a kind of ancient
coral formation.
| The immense amount of data accumulated by this project will keep the
scientist busy for years to come. Ever since these images were released for
educational and research purposes, new discoveries are a regular occurance. Which
would not have been possible without the skill and determination of the engineers who
built it. To those we say - Thank You. |
