This image reflects the ice on Mars as it begins its annual thaw according to the approaching Martian summer. The ice melts and refreezes with every year, which makes me realize the similarities that the separate parts of the universe are all connected through. Generally I don't think of the other planetary bodies as having season-like effects but this proves that they do. Also, the melted areas draw connections in my mind to individual cells and in so draw together the vastness of the planets with the minuteness of each cell. The picture isn't necessarily very aesthetically pleasing but mentally speaking it's a nice thought to understand just how much the universe we live in is interrelated. I suppose in a way the pits are similar to cells in that the outer edges that are thawing and the cell walls a cell has both lead to more intricate inner functions- the cell wall to organelles and the pit walls to caverns and tunnels under the surface of Mars. This, to me, reinforces the concept that no matter how big the object is it is related in theory and composition to something we already know.
