The Vegetation of Mars, Part 2

[1]
Share

Description:

A collection of mosses and lichens from the MER rover panoramic cameras. There are also a few tiny seedlings and some larger vegetation. The final object that I speculated might be a "plant stalk" has been identified and should be ignored as a prosaic rock. The evidence presented represents only a tiny fraction of the total moss evidence. I was adlibbing very quickly and did not see it correctly.

    Hey thanks. Not everyone sees everything, and I was really moving to cram as much into this as I could.

    The most/(only) interesting clip was at 4:50, in black & white it does look like moss. The rest of the clips i only saw shadows and them little balls we see so ofter scattered around the martian surface. 4 stars for that 1 pic thanks for sharing.
