HiPOD: On the Look-out for Dust Devils
In this image, we can see a dust devil traveling across the plains of Syria Planum. The dust devil is casting a shadow, which can be used to estimate its height.

HiPOD: A Pit Crater near Elysium Mons
This image was taken of an area on the lower southeastern flank of the volcano Elysium Mons. In the center is a small, dark pristine-appearing pit approximately 130 meters in diameter.

This friendly Spot bot is equipped with a 30x PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera to let us get really close images of the geobiological features on the cave walls!

Life comes in all shapes and sizes, dreaming up what kind of life we might find in the Universe is a big appeal for aspiring astrobiologists. What’s your favorite life form (fictional or not!)?
