NASA's Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft, currently orbiting Mars, simultaneously snapped both a wide-angle and high-resolution view of Hale crater that show gullies - possibly carved by water - in the peaks of sand dunes inside the crater.
The Global Surveyor images, which support findings release last spring, are available at:
