Moon Rocks

As the moon sets on the White Desert of Egypt, one might think they’re on a neighboring planet thanks to the Martian-looking landscape. The desert is rife with these alien formations, carved out by windblown sand. Tune in to watch the premiere of MARS on the National Geographic Channel tonight at 9/8c to get a glimpse of what life on the red planet might be like in the near future.
