Tribute and honor in a different way. We can’t expect astronomers thinking within the earth boundaries. They thrive in the universe, — as their gestures show. One such gesture is evident as the Athena science and engineering team for the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission has named a prominent ridge on the east side of the Husband Hill summit on the Red Planet ”Haskin Ridge,” in honor and memory of Larry A. Haskin, Ph.D., the Ralph E. Morrow Distinguished University Professor of earth and planetary sciences in Arts and Sciences. The Haskin Ridge is located inside Gusev Crater, in the Columbia Hills area, as shown in the images by the Mars Global Surveyor MOC Narrow Angle Camera.
