From Mars with Love
Explanation:
Are Martians trying to tell us something?
An indentation has been
recently photographed on
Mars that resembles a heart, a common human symbol for love.
Because intelligent Martians have never been known to exist,
and because
formations with similarities have been found
that clearly result from
natural
phenomena,
the pit
shown above is thought not to be a form of
interplanetary communication.
Many scientists believe instead that the
right-most wall of the two-kilometer
wide heart-shaped pit was created by a
naturally occurring
graben,
a surface drop caused by expansion along a fault-line.
Perhaps
love is easier to find here on
Earth.
