Mars’ Floating Spoon Rock

Like many, I have become addicted to new images from NASA, particularly from Mars. While many have seen figures or other mysterious signs of life, the topography is far more interesting, like this image of the “floating spoon.”

There is a most interesting fact. We see such rock formations on Earth in places like Bryce Canyon in Utah. However, since Mars has a thinner atmosphere and weaker gravity, even more fantastic formations are possible. Formations like the Martian floating spoon.

Hopefully, we will not have a couple of Martian scout leaders push it over.
