After One-Thousand Soles...

SOL1559-1.jpg
SOL1559-1.jpgHorizon - Sol 1559 (Superdefinition; credits: Dr M. Faccin)57 visiteI contrasti cromatici della Pianura di Gusev Crater sono stati leggermente accentuati, così da dare ai nostri Lettori non solo un'idea della effettiva (e variagata!) colorazione del Suolo Marziano, ma anche della sostanziale inesistenza della - ormai tendenziale e radicata - monocromaticità "Made by NASA".
Che una Dominante Cromatica, su Marte (ma SOLO in alcune Regioni e Zone), esista, a noi pare ormai un dato acquisito; ma che questa Dominante finisca con il tradursi quasi sempre nelle immagini a fondo "Giallastro" o "Arancio-Giallo" alle quali la NASA ha ormai abituato l'Opinione Pubblica, è un'assurdità.

Anzi, peggio: è un falso.

Grandi Complimenti al Dr Faccin per questa magnifica elaborazione!

SOL1599-PIA11049-1.jpgSouthern Half of Spirit's 'Bonestell' Panorama - Sol 1599 (natural colors; credits: Lunexit)54 visiteThis 180-degree panorama shows the southward vista from the location where Spirit is spending its third Martian winter inside Mars' Gusev Crater. The rover's overwintering location is on the northern edge of a low plateau informally called "Home Plate," which is about 80 meters or 260 feet in diameter.

This view combines 168 different exposures taken with Spirit's panoramic Camera (Pancam)—42 pointings with 4 filters at each pointing. Spirit took the first of these frames during the mission's 1,477th Martian day, or sol, (February 28, 2008) two weeks after the rover made its last move to reach the location where it would stop driving for the winter. Solar energy at Gusev Crater is so limited during the Martian winter that Spirit does not generate enough electricity to drive, nor even enough to take many images per day. The last frame for this mosaic was taken on Sol 1599 (July 2, 2008). The rover team plans for Spirit to finish taking images for the northern half of the scene during the Martian spring.

The northwestern edge of Home Plate is visible in the right foreground. The blockier, more sharply shadowed texture there is layered sandstone whose layering is tilted inward toward the edge of the Home Plate platform. A dark rock on top of Home Plate in that area is a porous volcanic basalt unlike rocks nearby. The northeastern edge of Home Plate is visible in the left foreground. Spirit first climbed onto Home Plate on that region, in early 2006.

Rover tracks from driving by Spirit are visible on Home plate in the center and right of the image. These were made during Spirit's second exploration on top of the plateau, which began when Spirit climbed onto the southern edge of Home Plate in September, 2007.

On the horizon, the highest point is "McCool Hill". This is one of the 7 larger hills in the Columbia Hills range. Home Plate is in the inner basin of the range, between McCool Hill to the South and "Husband Hill" to the North.
To the right of McCool Hill, in the center of the image and closer to Home Plate, is a smaller hill capped with a light-toned outcrop. This hill is called "Von Braun", and it is a possible destination the Rover Team has discussed for the next season of driving by Spirit, after the solar energy level increases in the Martian Spring. The flat horizon in the right-hand portion of the panorama is the basaltic plain onto which Spirit landed on Jan. 4, 2004.

SOL1605-1.jpgRecent Crack and Colourful Striations - Sol 1605 (natural colors + MULTISPECTRUM; credits: Dr M. Faccin & Lunexit)54 visiteUna spettacolare elaborazione in colori naturali (leggermente amplificati nei contrasti) di una pietraia vicina al Rover Spirit.
Due soli commenti:

1) osservate il "crack" (frattura) che caratterizza il macigno centrale di colore chiaro (una frattura, a nostro avviso, assai recente) e
2) guardate le sfumature cromatiche che il bravissimo Dr Faccin è riuscito ad estrarre da questo frame e quindi pensate alla - ormai totalmente assurda - monocromaticità che continua a caratterizzare le "ultrasofisticate" elaborazioni a colori "approssimativi" della NASA...
