NASA's online archive of all the weird and wonderful things they've photographed in space is one of my favourite things on the web.

The latest snap they've added shows what appears to be trees sprouting out of the surface of Mars. In actual fact, they're streaks of sand left by evaporating carbon dioxide ice.

Effectively, Mars monkeys are still homeless.
