Going clockwise from top left:
- The deteriorating view from the veteran Mars rover Opportunity as it becomes embroiled in a dust storm. More from NASA/JPL, and much more at the Planetary Society. Lets hope that Opportunity, and its sister rover Spirit, can survive.
- Brian stands on a conglomerate injectite in Patagonia, which he’s just co-authored a paper about. It looks pretty big, but apparently they get much bigger.
- Ground displacements from the July 16 Japanese earthquake, from radar interferometry – the glowing white blob is the epicentre. Courtesy of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
- A 20,000 year-old footprint, one of many Ice Age human trackways found in the Willandra Lakes region in Australia. From this paper by Steve Webb and others, via the Nature newsblog.
