Morning "Water Frost" on Vastitas - Sol 79 (false (?) colors; credits: NASA)

Caption NASA:"A thin layer of water frost is visible on the ground around NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander in this image taken by the Surface Stereo Imager at 06:00 a.m. on Sol 79 (August 14, 2008), the 79th Martian day after landing. The frost begins to disappear shortly after 6 a.m. as the sun rises on the Phoenix Landing Site. The Sun was about 22° above the horizon when the image was taken, enhancing the detail of the polygons, troughs and rocks around the Landing Site.

This view is looking east South-East with the Lander's eastern Solar Panel visible in the bottom lefthand corner of the image. The rock in the foreground is informally named "Quadlings" and the rock near center is informally called "Winkies". This false color image has been enhanced to show color variations".

Nota Lunexit: come direbbe Mr Spock "...la NASA, negli anni, non cambia mai, e la sua predilezione per l'irrilevante lo conferma ampiamente...". Già: ci dicono i nomi che hanno dato ai sassi, ma non ci spiegano perchè, a loro modo di vedere, questo frame sarebbe a falsi colori...
