Osservate bene i dettagli - visionando il frame in full-size - e poi provate a rispondere a questa (ormai vecchia, ma non oziosa) domanda: la sabbia Marziana "umida"?...

OPP-SOL727-PIA02186-1.jpgRoosevelt is on Mars (1) - Sol 72762 visiteThis image mosaic from the MI aboard NASA's MER Opportunity shows detailed structure of a small fin-like structure dubbed "Roosevelt", which sticks out from the outcrop pavement at the edge of Erebus Crater.
Roosevelt lines a fracture in the local pavement and scientists hypothesize that it is a fracture fill, formed by water that percolated through the fracture. This would mean the feature is younger than surrounding rocks and, therefore, might provide evidence of water that was present some time after the formation of Meridiani Planum sedimentary rocks.
The image shows fine laminations (layers about 1 mm or 0,04" thick) that run parallel to the axis of the fin. Some of the textures visible in the image likely indicate that minerals precipitated from the outcrop rocks, but sediment grains are also apparent.
The frames combined into this mosaic were taken during Opportunity's 727th Sol (Feb. 8, 2006).

OPP-SOL727-PIA02186-2.jpgRoosevelt is on Mars (2) - Sol 72762 visiteDifficile commentare la costruzione NASA in ordine alla possibile origine di "Roosevelt" senza passare per quelli che non sono mai d'accordo con quanto supposto dalla Scienza Convenzionale e dunque ci asteniamo. L'unico punto su cui desideriamo ancora sollecitarVi nel (solito) "Rasoio di Okkam": la NASA, a prescindersi dal tipo di fenomeno investigato, dai dati ad esso riferibili e, last but not least, dalla loro intrinseca bont ed affidabilit, opta SEMPRE - a nostro parere - per le spiegazioni pi contorte, complesse ed articolate. Sempre.
Forse hanno ragione loro o forse, a furia di regionare in termini ultra-scientifici e razionali, i nostri Amici hanno perso completamente di vista la "semplicit" che di regola informa la Natura.
Ora giudicate Voi...
