This is Mars.

If you mean to indicate you think it's water, you have to consider they're all false color and grayscale images. The rippling you see is sand. Maybe a bit of ice. Mars doesn't have any liquid water. If it did, you bet we'd be raving about it right now and planning on moving in.

The second picture is the one that to my eye looks the most like it has water, but even if the colors were genuine I don't think waves of water tend to have those ridges perpandicular to their crests.

Hmm, I missed that. What stood out to me was that the tan rocks were visible beneath the 'waves.'

BTW, third pic doesn't contain anything I consider water-like. Just some strange formations.

I like this one.
Something awe-inspiring about those rovers still exploring Mars despite only having a 90-day expected lifetime there. 5 years and counting.

I still want people sent there though. There are most likely plenty of volunteers to go even though it would most likely be a one-way trip with no return home. I think I'd go, how about you all?

I thought the black stuff in the third pic (Artificial coloring, I know) looked like symbiote stuff from Spiderman, and that this was going to be a thread about Venoms running wild across the martian landscape.

You're not my real father. You can't tell me what to do.

Young man while we let our planets just go bad carelessly the children in Africa would be glad to even have one!

That third picture is totally martians standing on the dunes and casting shadows.
