I was checking out the latest pics in from Opportunity and noticed this link on the MarsRovers website:
See link for more details.Scientists Need Your Help!
Mars scientists are asking students from around the world to help them understand the red planet. Send in a rock collected by you or your classroom from your region of the world, and we will use a special tool like the one on the rover to tell you what it's made of. Then everyone can compare their rocks to the ones found on Mars.
We'll post a picture of your rock on the web, and give you a report on what kind of rock it is. We'll also send you an official certificate and Mars sticker for your contribution.
So send 'em your rocks, kids!![]()
