This seems to be a great week for discoveries on Mars.



(BBC)-Scientists studying pictures from Nasa's Odyssey spacecraft have spotted what they think may be seven caves on the surface of Mars.

The candidate caves are on the flanks of the Arsia Mons volcano and are of sufficient depth their floors mostly cannot be seen through the opening.

Just watch, they probably won't send anything to explore them.
Maybe because "they" already know they are there?
