The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is a workhorse satellite that has taken some of the most stunning photos of Mars ever. These rolling blue hills and dunes are the floor of Gale Crater. In these HiRise camera images, the blue represents the type of material on the ground, which in this case would be extremely fine sand. These false colors are created by the HiRise camera processing—black might indicate salty water, for example.

Tingari Story, Willy Tjungurrayi (1986) “This work depicts the travels of the Tingari, a group of ancestor beings, who travelled over vast stretches of the country performing rituals and creating and shaping sites. The Tingari Men were usually accompanied by novices and their travels and adventures are enshrined in a number of song cycles. These mythologies form part of the teachings of post-initiate youths today as well as providing explanations for contemporary customs. The Tingari ceremonies are of a secret nature and no further information was given by the artist.“
