OPP-SOL5111-PIA22929_PANCAMSOL5111_1P581919922EFFD2FCP2682L8M1.jpg...End of Transmissions... - Sol 5111172 visiteCaption NASA:"Taken on June 10, 2018 (such as the 5111th Martian Day, or Sol, of the mission) this “noisy”, incomplete image was the last data NASA's MER Opportunity sent back from Perseverance Valley.
The partial, full-frame image from the Panoramic Camera (PanCam) was sent up to NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter around 09:45 a.m. PDT (such as 12:45 p.m. EDT) to relay back to Earth as an intense Dust Storm darkened the Skies around the solar-powered Rover. The image was received on Earth at around 10:05 a.m. PDT (1:05 p.m. EDT).
Opportunity took this image with the left (Sx) eye of the PanCam, with its Solar Filter pointed at the Sun. But since the Dust Storm blotted out the Sun, the image is dark. The white speckles are noise from the camera. All PanCam images have noise in them, but the darkness makes it more apparent. The transmission stopped before the full image was transmitted, leaving the bottom of the image incomplete, represented here as black pixels.
While this partial full-frame image was the last that Opportunity transmitted, it was not actually the last set of images from Opportunity. This image was taken at around 9:30 a.m. PDT (12:30 p.m. EDT) on June 10, 2018. Another set of images was taken about three minutes later. The thumbnail versions of the last images taken were transmitted, but the Rover lost contact before transmitting the full-frame versions".MareKromium

SOL1001-PIA01907_modest.jpgBeautiful Panorama - Sol 1001 (possible natural colors; credits: Roberto Tremolada)64 visiteDa parte del nostro Caro Amico, Roberto Tremolada, una bellissima interpretazione in possibili colori naturali del panorama che circondava il MER Spirit intorno al Sol 1001.
Come vedete, una volta trovato il modo (e le "tecniche" per riuscirci sono svariate) di eliminare - in tutto od in parte - l'eccesso di Dominante Rosso/Arancio (e su questo punto vogliamo essere chiari: noi suggeriamo di eliminare "l'eccesso" di Dominante, NON la Dominante "in sè" la quale, a nostro parere, costituisce una caratterizzazione naturale ed effettiva dell'ambiente Marziano!), il Pianeta Rosso dai Cieli Rossi (e/o Gialli/Verdi/Butterscotch et sim.) diventa una Pianeta decisamente simil-terrestre, il cui Cielo oscilla, in termini di colori (n.b.: il colore dipende dall'ora del giorno, dalla Stagione e dalla O.A.), fra un blando celeste - che poi degrada verso il blu ed il nero (ore della mattina ed O.A. bassa) -, il giallo pallido - che degrada verso l'arancio scuro e poi il nero (ore del pomeriggio ed O.A. elevata) ed il blu scuro, con orizzonte lontano aranciato e via a degradare verso il nero (ore del tardo pomeriggio e della sera ed O.A. bassa).
Per quanto attiene i foto-mosaici (come questo), Vi ricordiamo che essi incorporano e racchiudono in un tutt'uno delle foto scattate in diverse ore del giorno ed in diversi giorni e mostrano il Cielo in prevalenza di colore grigio, con riflessi ora celustrini ed ora giallastri.
Complimenti e Congratulazioni all'Amico Roberto Tremolada per il risultato raggiunto e per lo spunto offertoci!MareKromium

SOL1001-PIA09091-RA5-bear-berkner-george-islands_unlabeled.jpgRover Tracks336 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This is a portion of an image, called the "McMurdo Panorama", taken by the PanC on the Spirit Rover during its winter campaign. The view is looking toward the East, at "Tyrone", the light-toned soils exposed by the Rover's wheels. The Tyrone area proved difficult for Spirit to get through, so the Rover was commanded to traverse to "Low Ridge", the site of the winter campaign. Note the light-toned material in the wheel tracks generated as the Rover drove to the site. Several rock and soil targets are shown that were investigated with instruments on the Rover's Robotic Arm.
The McMurdo Panorama PIA01907 was acquired over several months while Spirit was on "Low Ridge". It required all of the camera's geology filters and covered 360° in azimuth".

SOL1007-2M215761736EFFAS00P2957M2M1.jpgUnsual Surface Features - Sol 1007 (False Colors)141 visiteLa "Saga" di Spirit ed Opportunity, una volta superato l'incredibile risultato dei 1000 Soles su Marte, procede in questa nuova Sezione la quale, al pari di "Walking on Mars", Vi proporrà istantanee belle da guardare ed istantanee controverse da discutere, allo scopo (primario e finale) di "capire"un pò di più di quello che sta accadendo su Marte e - grazie ai Rover - davanti ai nostri occhi.
In questi primi frames, dettagli della Superficie Marziana ottenuti da Spirit usando il Microscopic Imager. Che cosa vedete? Noi vediamo sabbie compatte e molto simili, visivamente, alle "sabbie umide" che si possono trovare in riva al mare o sul greto di tanti fiumi; vediamo dettagli di rilievi superficiali i quali ci ricordano molto di più dei residui organici fossili piuttosto che delle "scorie vulcaniche".
Vediamo, insomma, tanti dettagli che meriterebbero analisi ben più accurate, approfondite e credibili delle nostre. Analisi che, però - ancora oggi, purtroppo -, non vengono effettuate.
