SOL632-2-A_Orion_Composite-A640R1_br2.jpgOrion...through the eyes of Spirit! (2) - Sol 63260 visiteOriginal caption:"Because Spirit is in the Southern Hemisphere of Mars, Orion appears upside down compared to how it would appear to viewers in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth. "Star trails" in the longer exposures are a result of the Mars' rotation. The faintest stars visible in the 60" exposure are about as bright as the faintest stars visible with the naked eye from Earth (about magnitude 6 in astronomical terms). The Orion Nebula, famous as a nursery of newly forming stars, is also visible in these images. Bright streaks in some parts of the images aren't stars or meteors or unidentified flying objects, but are caused by solar and galactic cosmic rays striking the camera's detector.
Spirit acquired these images with the PanCam on Sol 632 (Oct. 13, 2005) at around 45 minutes past midnight MLT, using the camera's broadband filter (wavelengths of 739 nnmts plus or minus 338 nnmts)".

OPP-SOL562-1N178076672EFF5900P1875R0M1.jpg360° Panorama (2) - Sol 56287 visiteAnche in questo (bellissimo) secondo frame, potete notare come questi outcrops - che a noi piace chiamare come "Pavimenti di Marte" - sìano sostanzialmente "piatti", e quindi profondamente differenti dagli altri outcrops che invece caratterizzano l'area di Gusev Crater (Spirit). A ben guardare, dopo aver anche esaminato con questa specifica ottica ed in questa particolare direzione i frames Viking e Pathfinder, i Martian Paving ci sembrano essere proprio (ed almeno sino al prossimo "landing" di una qualche Sonda USA od Europea) una prerogativa esclusiva della Regione di Meridiani Planitia.

OPP-SOL318-1P156412451ESF3940P2569R2M1.jpgThe Heat-Shield - Sol 318101 visiteBrutta immagine, ma significativa: lo Scudo Termico è a poche decine di metri da Opportunity e brilla sotto il Sole di Marte. Brilla così intensamente che le sue fattezze sono "lavate via" (washed away) dai riflessi di luce (Sun glare). Noi siamo molto interessati a questo "pezzo di metallo"; la NASA, a giudicare dalle tantissime immagini che ha ripreso e che continua a riprendere, forse lo è anche di più...

NepenthesMensae-385-090408-5212-6-co1-01.jpgNepenthes Mensae (MULTISPECTRUM; credits: Lunexit)102 visiteThe High Resolution Stereo Camera on board ESA’s Mars Express Orbiter imaged Nepenthes Mensae, a river delta on Mars, on 22 January 2008.
The data was acquired in the Region lying at approx. 3° North and 121° East, with a ground resolution of 15 mt/pixel.
The southern part of the image shows a structure reminiscent of a river delta on Earth, whose material was eroded from a valley, about 30 Km long and upto 1000 mt deep. This formed a fan-shaped deposit at the mouth of the valley. The rim of the deposit stands roughly 300 mt above the floor of the depression.
The resemblance of the structure to river deltas on Earth suggests that it was formed by a similar mechanism. Scientists believe that sediment transported by water was deposited as the flow of the water slowed down where the channel widened and met the mouth of the river.
The pictures show that the Region was affected by two episodes of flooding.
The first left a cone-shaped deposit, reaching far out into the lowland.
The second episode formed the fan with the distinct margin. This margin could indicate the location where sediments flowed into a standing body of water or ice.
Numerous hills and flat-topped mountains visible in the central part of the depression are remnants of the material that was present in the area.
The material was then eroded forming the depression, leaving behind the elevations visible today.MareKromium

PSP_006737_1265-Square06~0.jpg79 visiteGewidmet Lyk2, von der deutschen Seite Allmystery (https://www.allmystery.de/themen/uf55655#id2962022).
Zitat: „Gibt es ein Denkmal auf dem Mars? - 05.08.2009 um 13:16 Uhr
@Prometheus
Diese italienische Seite (i.e.: Lunar Explorer Italia) scheint sich selbst auf die Schippe zu nehmen (ahahah).“
Nun, das ist der Kommentar des Genies.
Ich denke, eine kurze Antwort ist notwendig.
Ich ziehe meinen Hut vor dem Idioten, der über den Ernst dieser Seite lacht, ohne ihn zu kennen und offensichtlich ohne auch nur das Geringste über ihren Zweck und die Opfer zu verstehen, die gebracht wurden, um sie 22 Jahre lang online zu halten.
Danke! Bravo! Dann mach es besser, du armer Idiot…MareKromiumMag 28, 2026

SOL4887-PIA26724.pngAtacama - Sol 4877 (Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech)114 visiteNASA’s Curiosity Mars rover used its Mast Camera, or Mastcam, to capture this view of a rock nicknamed “Atacama” on May 6, 2026, the 4,877th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The rock had gotten stuck to the drill on the end of Curiosity’s robotic arm on April 25. Engineers spent several days repositioning the arm and vibrating the drill to try and get the rock loose, finally detaching the rock on May 1.
Atacama is estimated to be 1.5 feet in diameter at its base and 6 inches thick. It would weigh roughly 28.6 pounds (13 kilograms) on Earth (and about a third of that on Mars). The circular hole produced by Curiosity’s drill is visible in the rock.
This mosaic is made up of eight images that were stitched together after being sent back to Earth. The color has been approximately white-balanced to resemble how the scene would appear under daytime lighting conditions on Earth.
Curiosity was built by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed by Caltech in Pasadena, California. JPL leads the mission on behalf of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington as part of NASA’s Mars Exploration Program portfolio. Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego built and operates Mastcam.MareKromiumMag 12, 2026

SOL1717-PIA26699_figA.jpgCrocodile Bridge89 visiteNASA’s Perseverance Mars rover used its Mastcam-Z camera system to capture this 360-degree panorama of a region nicknamed “Crocodile Bridge” on Jezero Crater’s rim. The panorama is made up of 980 images, 971 of which were taken on Dec. 18, 2025, the 1,717th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. An additional nine were taken on Jan. 25, 2026, Sol 1,754. This natural-color view has been processed to show the landscape as the human eye would see it.
Jezero Crater’s rim and the regions around it hold some of the oldest rocks anywhere in the solar system; they serve as time capsules of the Red Planet’s early history, when its crust and atmosphere were still forming. No terrain this ancient exists on Earth, where tectonic plates constantly recycle the surface. (Mars lacks tectonic plates, allowing some of this very old material to be preserved.)
“Crocodile Bridge” represents a transition into an area nicknamed “Lac de Charmes,” which Perseverance will explore for several months later this year.MareKromiumMag 07, 2026

SOL4887-PIA26696_figA.pngNevado Sajama - Horizon107 visiteThe image was taken at a ridgetop site nicknamed “Nevado Sajama,” where Curiosity collected a rock sample using a drill on the end of its Robotic Arm.
Since May 2025, Curiosity has been exploring a region full of geologic formations called boxwork, which crisscross the surface for miles and look like giant spiderwebs when viewed from space.
The new panorama shows them as they really are: low ridges standing roughly 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) tall and about 30 feet (9 meters) across with sandy hollows in between.MareKromiumMag 07, 2026

mov2.gifStrange! (a GIF-Movie by Tim Beech)181 visiteThis sequence (showing something that appear to be some sort of "strange movements" near a semi-buried Martian rock) is cropped from the last 10 (ten) frames of a video taken on Sol 6 by the Lander for the Mars Pathfinder Rover.
This possible evidence of unual movements on a world that should be totally still (but we know that is not!) was discovered by Mr. Tim Beech, which I personally thank for the work he made.
The intriguing detail, however, is very hard to be seen nere, but if you know how to look and study a series of pictures, I'm sure you'll find it. Good Luck anyway!MareKromiumApr 29, 2026

SOL3075_-_Don_Davis.jpgClouds over Curiosity (Credits: NASA/JPL; Credits for the additional process. and color: Don Davis)131 visiteL'immagine, in sè, potrebbe anche essere carina. Ma questo tipo di colorizzazione non esiste. Nemmeno su Marte. Evidentemente anche il "Grande " Don Davis - di cui ho apprezzato molto il lavoro negli anni, sta invecchiando o si è piegato alle logiche cromatiche NASA.
Decidete Voi.MareKromiumApr 10, 2026
