What does this look like to you?
Beautiful circles of gold over an ivory fabric for a dress? Could be liquid gold, or brass with snow covering most of it. Maybe gold designs on white enamel.
That's Mars you're seeing. The Astronomy Picture Of The Day site, APOD, showed this yesterday. The white expanse is frozen carbon dioxide, and it's thawing near the end of summer near the Martian south pole. The dry ice is warming and evaporating (sublimating) into the atmosphere, leaving the pits in the surface more visible. Scientists don't know what the golden-looking substance is, but it's attractive for the time being. Come the Martian winter, it'll look like Squaw Valley or Alpine Meadows down there.
