Martian Chocolate
This interesting image was captured by the Mars rover Opportunity and shows a feature nicknamed "Chocolate Hills". It shows rock formation on the rim of Conception crater, a relatively small, 33-foot wide crater on Mars. The rocks have an unusual dark-colored coating of unknown origin that seems to resemble chocolate. Theories include melting from the impact of the meteor and the possible action of water and weather.
