10. Location on Mars
Glenelg, Mars (or Glenelg Intrigue) is a location on Mars near the Mars Science Laboratory (Curiosity rover) landing site (Bradbury Landing) in Gale Crater marked by a natural intersection of three kinds of terrain.
The location was named
Glenelg by NASA scientists for two reasons: all features in the immediate
vicinity were given names associated with Yellowknife in northern Canada, and
Glenelg is the name of a geological feature there.
Furthermore, the name is a
palindrome, and as the Curiosity rover is planned to visit the location twice
(once coming, and once going) this was an appealing feature for the name.
