In the history of great rivalries, a few stand out more than others, like Coke vs. Pepsi, or DC vs. Marvel, but when it comes science fiction one debate stands supreme.

Way back when, this area of Mars had a lot of crescent-shaped sand dunes due to how the winds moved around. At some point, a volcano erupted and the lava flowed around the dunes, making them islands of sand amongst the lava.
Eventually, the lava cooled and hardened and the sand was all blown away, leaving these perfect impressions.
Ultimately, the discovery resulted in some lighthearted fun. I mean, the world can't be all bad when William Shatner is telling Mark Hamill not to be "jelly."
