THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Bear Selfies and a Bear on Mars
Do we have company in our solar system?
It’s a week for bears.
We have a bear busily basking in selfies in a Boulder, Colorado forest. A trail cam snapped about 400 pics of the curious bear as it posed for selfies. Apparently the narcissistic fellow did not get bored during his photo shoot and has become a social media and news darling.
And now we have a bear-or two on Mars. The University of Arizona is posting a photo of a bear found on Mars. To be accurate, it is a rock formation looking like a bear.
This one surely makes you smile!
Scientists at the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory say, “The circular fracture pattern might be due to the settling of a deposit over a buried impact crater. Maybe the nose is a volcanic or mud vent and the deposit could be lava or mud flows?”
