Pasadena, California
As NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft heads into its fourth year in orbit around the Red Planet mission scientists released a recent wide-angle image snapped by the spacecraft of three apparent water-carved valleys.

Scientists believe torrents of water carved the valleys at some distant point in the Martian past, scouring the planet’s surface with a sudden outburst. In each case, the water flowed toward the bottom of the image.

What they haven’t mentioned yet is that they found three carp anglers bivvied up on the banks. One said, ‘We’ve been here for three months and haven’t had a bite yet, but this big green guy told us to stick at it as NASA were taking a big interest in the area.’

The National Association of Specialist Anglers get everywhere don’t they.
