Fienga - Lunexit Team)119 visiteSono i nostri stessi Amici di Pasadena a dire che le condizioni di illuminazione di Marte, Regione di Gale Crater, non sono ottimali (meno del 50% dell'Illuminazione Solare Diffusa rispetto alla Terra e TAU elevata), e questo è il risultato della ricalibrazione di un'immagine NASA/JPL-Caltech - MER and Lab.

SOL0002-NLA_397681339EDR_F0020000AUT_04096M-PCF-LXTT-IPF.jpgThe Inner Rim of Gale Crater - Sol 2 (Calibrated Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunar Explorer Italia - Italian Planetary Foundation)100 visiteThis image was taken by the Left A NavCam (NAV_LEFT_A) onboard the NASA - Mars Rover Curiosity on Sol 2 (such as August, 8, 2012 at 07:04:32 UTC) of the Rover Mission to Gale Crater. The distant Rim of Gale Crater appears "fuzzy" (---> out of focus, blurred) because of the presence of a certain amount of Fog (mostly suspended Microscopic Dust Particles and, maybe, some Microscopic Water-Ice Cristals) in the air (Lower Atmosphere); right in front of the Left A NavCam, the Surface is heavily disturbed and that fact was due to the action of the retrorockets which allowed Curiosity to make (always relatively speaking) a "Soft Landing".
"...Thrust from the rockets actually dug a one-and-a-half-foot-long [0.5-meter] trench in the Surface. It appears we can see Martian Bedrock on the bottom. Its depth below the Surface is valuable data we can use going forward..." said Dr John Grotzinger, Project Scientist for the Mission from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.MareKromium

Ma, in fondo, guardando le "Unusually-looking Rocks of Mars" (come ama definirle la NASA), che cosa è REALMENTE cambiato? Probabilmente nulla... Grande occhio del nostro Big "G" (il Dr Gianluigi Barca) e nuove "Curiosità" da trovare e valutare. Forse, ed a ben vedere, mai nome per un "Esploratore Robotico Marziano" fu più azzeccato!MareKromium
