Scientists using rover technology have proposed that photos from the Mars Odyssey mission reveal large holes that could be entrances to caves. "The Martian surface is an extremely harsh environment, so the significance of caves is in their protective nature," said Cushing, a graduate teaching assistant in NAU's Department of Physics and Astronomy. He was the first to spot the black areas on the photographs.
