The images sent back to Earth by the ‘Mars Express’ reveal a 35 kilometer wide crater with signs of erosion that could have been due to running water – an exciting find! No – there has been no sightings of any Martians – unless they chose to remain still when the photos were taken. ‘Mars Express’ is a Space exploration mission conducted by the European Space Agency. It recently flew over the planet and transmitted pictures of its terrain back to Earth. The images covered an area of approximately 22 square kilometers. Rudolf was the red-nosed reindeer and Mars is our lovable red planet. For whatever reasons, we have fantasized with this planet and conjured up visions of probable encounters with the aliens who, presumably, roam about on the planet. Would that happen in the near future?
