Spirit Rover at Engineering Flats on Mars
The Spirit rover created this 'art' on Mars, unintentionally. The Mars Exploration Rover Mission team was investigating rocks in Engineering Flats, near Hank's Hollow. The rover's treads left patterns on the Martian soil. Spirit then photographed the area, including its own tracks.
