just as a refresher, here's what mars actually looks like. (complete with the mysterious golfball photo)

you know, i read something in the paper about this a while ago. i don't know if anyone has mentioned this here in relation to this topic, but has anyone considered that mars looks different at different times of the day? look out your window. will the colors outside be the same in 12 hours? probably not. mars does rotate and revolve around the sun and it's own axis, just like earth. i'm not saying this fully explains the colors in the mars photos, but it's something to think about, assuming it hasn't been mentioned here before and disproved.

Don't know if you know about this, but to keep your links to the NY Times working after a few weeks, at which time they become subscription content, you can use this link generator courtesy of UserLand.
