MOC image 3 from the Floor of Ophir Chasma series invites further study.  Phenomenal landscape -- lava flow or whatever -- isn't it?

So what is this 40-meter white radar dome (in the big yellow circle), perched on a base, doing in a niche on the cliffside?

Are those vehicles, or residences, on down-slope from the dome?

Why is there a radio tower on the hillside?

Is the large black area a cave?  Why did E.T. park its UFO below the cave?
