I think they're lying. I think that's just Arizona.

OK, but some of it is! I'm pretty sure Flagstaff was... all the buildings at NAU were red (and not red brick).

Picture of red field + red and grey rocks = boring. And I'm a geologist!

Yeah, but look for the marks where the airbags hit! It's like a where's waldo game. Someone on the NASA Academy email list i'm on asked if we could see where the airbags bounced. Someone who works with the rover teams responded:

As for your airbag question, last I heard, the engineers say we had 32 bounces! The prevailing theory is (again tentative pending higher-res) that darker, circular to oblong patches (e.g. two *within* Sleepy Hollow) are the airbag bounces.

I think that's pretty cool :) Plus, they've got rocks worn smooth by wind! And some possible craters to explore (i.e. Sleepy Hollow).

Yeah, you're right, that *does* sound cool.
