- Curiosity sends back new evidence of once-wet Mars (pictures)
Dry streambed on Earth
For comparison's sake, check out this image of a dry streambed on an alluvial fan in the Atacama Desert, Chile. The Rover Curiosity has seen a couple of rock outcrops on Mars close to its Bradbury Landing site that also record a mixture of sand and pebbles. Scientists believe the pebbles got transported by water and were most likely deposited along an ancient streambed.
