Mars is Colorado?

[ankh_hpl]

As a Colorado resident, I was fascinated to learn this morning that our Great Sand Dunes are helping geologists understand dunes on Mars, & what rover "Curiosity" may be seeing for us.. 

I heard the story on Colorado Public Radio, on a show called Colorado Matters.  To read about it, or listen to it yourself, check here.

I'm living (somewhat) near a Martian landscape.  Who knew?
