Boston.com has some eye-popping pictures from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. A couple of the wildest ones show the tracks from one of the Mars rovers which landed in 2004 (#9) and part of the Pathfinder lander that operated during the summer of 1997 (#7). The overhead view of a 1,600-foot-tall dust devil (#21) is kind of interesting, too, when you consider that's more or less a tornado 200 feet taller than the Sears Tower (which no one calls the Willis Tower even though that's who now owns it).
Warning -- these are large pics, there's a lot of them, and the page can take awhile to load.
