Brain Crater on Mars
This image from the Mars Global Surveyor shows an unusual crater floor on Mars that resembles a human brain. The natural processes that created this texture are still being investigated. The lighter-colored region around the textured area is likely sand dunes, sculpted by Martian winds. This crater offers a puzzle about the geological history of the Red Planet.
