WELTRAUM MARS LANDSCHAFT
This image released by NASA 04 December 2000 was the first image received by MOC (Mars orbiter camera) scientists that began to hint at a larger story of layered sedimentary rock on Mars. The picture shows a 1.5 km by 2.9 km (0.9 mi by 1.8 mi) area in far southwestern Candor Chasma that was not previously expected to exhibit layers. The MOC image reveals that the floor of western Candor Chasma at this location is indeed layered. What is most striking about the picture is the large number and uniformity of the layers, or beds. Nasa scientists announced that these layers once hosted Martian lakes leading to speculation for finding fossil evidence of life on Mars. (KEYSTONE/- PHOTO/AFP/NASA)
