Mars or Earth?

Maximillian Schneider

 

Is this an aerial image of mountains and valleys on Mars? It is not, instead being a close-up of rust on an old iron tank. There are similarities between the two, however. Mars owes its red colour to the iron oxide, common rust, that makes up much of its surface material.
