Are you curious about what sand dunes on Mars look like? Look no further than NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover, which continues to capture stunning images of the red planet’s sandy landscapes.
Mars is a dusty, sandy, and windy planet, making it an ideal location for sand dune and sand ripple formation.
While sand dunes come in various shapes and sizes, well-defined circles are rare on Mars as on Earth.
However, polka dots seem to be a thing on Mars!
Titanium test tubes will bring samples of Martian rocks, gravel, and sand back to Earth.
Will they find a microfossil in one of the samples? If yes, there’ll be massive headlines proving life on Mars.
In the meantime – check out a microfossil found on the shore of Lake Eire, USA.
It’s a crinoid fossil dating millions and millions of years back to the Devonian time period. (I was so stunning enough that I just had to send it to a lab and make a piece of jewelry shaped just as it, seen here: )
There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on Earth. But likely more grains of sand than stars, or?
PASSION FOR SAND
A Desire to Feel Close to People, Passions, and Places Worldwide
To me, jewelry can reflect something beyond the self. I hope you’ll feel the same if you choose to wear OUAW.
There’s so much about sand I’d love to share with you.
How it connects, reflects, and affects your everyday life.
Did I mention I’m a sand nerd?
