Hellas_Basin.jpgHellas Basin62 visiteCaption NASA:"What created this unusual terrain on Mars?
The floors of several Mid-Latitude craters in Hellas Basin on Mars appear unusually grooved, flat, and shallow. New radar images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter bolster an exciting hypothesis: huge glaciers of buried ice. Evidence indicates that such glaciers cover an area larger than a city and extend as much as a kilometer deep.
The ice would have been kept from evaporating into the thin Martian air by a covering of dirt. If true, this would indicate the largest volume of water ice outside of the Martian Poles, much larger than the frozen puddles recently discovered by the Phoenix Lander.
Such lake-sized ice blocks located so close to the Martian Equator might make a good drinking reservoir for future astronauts exploring Mars.
How the glaciers originally formed remains a mystery" (...).
Nota Lunexit: ATTENZIONE! Questa immagine - per bella e dettagliata che sembri o che sia - NON E' UNA FOTOGRAFIA! Essa è il risultato finale di un complesso mix di immagini reali le quali sono state riprese ed assemblate e quindi riprocessate digitalmente (vedasi, per maggiori informazioni, il "Solar System Visualization Project"). Un'opera fantastica e meritoria ed un risultato indubbiamente suggestivo ma...Questa immagine NON E' rappresentativa di una realtà specifica.
Essa è solo la ricostruzione digitale di una realtà specifica (il Bacino di Hellas), il che non è esattamente la stessa cosa...MareKromium

Huygens-Down-00.jpgHuygens' Descent to Titan: 115 Km from the Surface (credits: R. Pascal)57 visiteThe Huygens Probe just jettisoned its Main-parachute and is now hanging under the smaller Stabiliser-parachute. This Stabiliser-parachute will carry Huygens for the next two hours all the way down to the Surface of Titan. MareKromium

Huygens-Down-01.jpgHuygens' Descent to Titan: 110 Km from the Surface (credits: R. Pascal)55 visiteThe haze of Titan's Atmosphere preferently scatters blue and UltraViolet light: this is the reason why the Outer Atmosphere of Titan appears blue in some Cassini images. In reality, the effect of a blue outer atmosphere on Titan may be less prominent than on this rendered image.
This was the altitude were the main parachute was jettisoned and first surface structures came into view for Huygens' cameras.MareKromium

Huygens-Down-02.jpgHuygens' Descent to Titan: 100 Km from the Surface (credits: R. Pascal)56 visiteThe true color of Titan's Sky at this altitude is expected to be slighly less vivid than in this rendering, but should nevertheless come close to it. The transparency of the atmosphere would also be slightly lower to the naked eye. MareKromium

Huygens-Down-03.jpgHuygens' Descent to Titan: 90 Km from the Surface (credits: R. Pascal)58 visiteThe blue color of the sky slowly vanishes with decreasing distance to the Surface and is replaced by a brownish tint. Huygens is still above a layer of complex organic condensate haze, that prevents a clear view down to the Surface.MareKromium

Huygens-Down-04.jpgHuygens' Descent to Titan: 85 Km from the Surface (credits: R. Pascal)55 visiteAltitude: about 85 Km and still nearly two hours of descent are separating Huygens from the Surface of Titan.MareKromium

Huygens-Down-05.jpgHuygens' Descent to Titan: 70 Km from the Surface (credits: R. Pascal)55 visiteAt an altitude of about 70 Km above the Surface, Huygens is inside the layer of complex organic condensate haze. Below that layer, the view becomes clearer. MareKromium
