Geologically Rich Mars
Regolith, particulate fragmented rock and fine grained soils, generally covers most of the surface of Mars. Mantles of rocky dust often mute the landscape, filling in topographic lows and burying boulders. Sorted sand-sized soil grains are often evident in images in the form of sand dunes and ripples.
Clean exposures of bedrock are relatively rare. Fractured basement rock is sometimes visible between dunes. Sedimentary layers can also become eroded showing alternating bands, these visible bands manifesting from changes in rock strength between layers. The edges of scarps may also exhibit significant strength against erosion or large blocks and boulders at the base of the scarps. All of these examples are visible within this geologically rich image.
The abundance of rock exposures and relative scarcity of a obscuring soil layer make this region a good location to examine the compositional diversity of the parent bedrock.

The Tadpole\'s Tail
In this stunning vista, based on image data from the Hubble Legacy Archive, distant galaxies form a dramatic backdrop for disrupted spiral galaxy Arp 188, the Tadpole Galaxy. The cosmic tadpole is a mere 420 million light-years distant toward the northern constellation Draco. Its eye-catching tail is about 280 thousand light-years long and features massive, bright blue star clusters. One story goes that a more compact intruder galaxy crossed in front of Arp 188 - from right to left in this view - and was slung around behind the Tadpole by their gravitational attraction. During the close encounter, tidal forces drew out the spiral galaxy\'s stars, gas, and dust forming the spectacular tail. The intruder galaxy itself, estimated to lie about 300 thousand light-years behind the Tadpole, can be seen through foreground spiral arms at the upper left. Following its terrestrial namesake, the Tadpole Galaxy will likely lose its tail as it grows older, the tail\'s star clusters forming smaller satellites of the large spiral galaxy.

Hamar Portrait, Ethiopia
This Month in Photo of the Day: 2012 National Geographic Photo Contest Images
The Hamars are a people of East Africa living in southwestern Ethiopia in a fertile area of the Omo Valley. The gracious Hamar women, freeing pride and dignity even in the midst of the bustling weekly market, are easily spotted with their characteristic outfits. They take pride in their dress and accessories and win the prize as the most decorated of the Omo people. The traditional dress code for unmarried Hamar girls includes elegant cowrie-shell collars, seeded or glass-beaded necklaces, and decorated goatskin clothing.
