The data is several terrabytes in size. So this is "big data." At least for a while, until the equivalent of Moore's law for data storage makes it small data in a few decades or so. :) data Photo: Wikimedia/Fernanda B.

Puzzle photo: Panama Canal related to Mars?

For today’s photo post, we have a puzzle: how is the Panama Canal related to the Planet Mars?

Continuing on our earlier Mars theme, this is the Panama Canal, as viewed from the top of Ancon Hill in November 2009. Many giant ship container cranes are visible, together with shipping contains, and builds. There is a tiny-looking ship off to the left, and mountains, grass, clouds, and sky in the distance. The blue water of the canal runs through the center of the photo. Wait, did we say Mars theme? What does the Panama Canal have to do with Mars?
