SOL748-2N192766225ESFAO55P1928L0M1.jpgSmoke or tampering? - Sol 74884 visiteCerchiatura Verde: un dettaglio individuato per puro caso, ma grazie ad una notevole acutezza visiva. Si tratta di uno "sbuffo" di fumo nero, di un corpo in movimento rapidissimo e ripreso per puro caso oppure siamo - ancora una volta... - davanti ad una manipolazione digitale?
Impossibile dirlo, ma una cosa certa: c' qualcosa di strano, in questo frame...

L'Anomala c' ancora e si vede. Bene.

SOL748-4-2P192766906EFFAO55P2271L7M1.jpgThe "Burns Cliff of Gusev Crater" (1) - Sol 74864 visiteAfter several months of driving, Spirit finally reached the semicircular geologic feature dubbed "Home Plate" in Gusev Crater. Spirit first got a good view of Home Plate in late August, after cresting Husband Hill.
After that, the Rover made scientific observations near the Summit before commencing an ambitious drive of 848 mt (about 2.782 feet, a little more than half a mile) in 94 Soles, to get to Home Plate. Spirit is now studying a rock target called "Barnhill" just below the tabletop-like surface of Home Plate using instruments on the Rover's RA. Science Team members have begun calling Home Plate the "Burns Cliff of Gusev" because of its layered appearance and steep slopes, which is reminiscent of, but smaller than, Endurance Crater, explored by Spirit's twin, Opportunity, on the opposite side of Mars in 2004.

SOL748-Home Plate-PIA02690-1.jpgHome Plate: almost true colors and HR (1) - Sol 748 to 75162 visiteNASA's MER Spirit acquired this high-resolution view of intricately layered exposures of rock while parked on the North-western edge of the bright, semi-circular feature known as "Home Plate". The Rover was perched at a 27-degree upward tilt while creating the panorama, resulting in the "U" shape of the mosaic. In reality, the features along the 1-meter to 2-meter (1-foot to 6.5-foot) vertical exposure of the rim of Home Plate in this vicinity are relatively level. Rocks near the Rover in this view, known as the "Gibson" panorama, include Barnhill, Rogan and Mackey.

SOL748-Home Plate-PIA02690-2.jpgHome Plate: almost true colors and HR (2) - Sol 748 to 75162 visiteSpirit acquired 246 separate images of this scene using 6 different filters on the PanCam during the Rover's Martian days, or Soles, 748 through 751 (Feb. 9 through Feb. 12, 2006).
The field of view covers 160 of terrain around the rover. This image is an approximately true-color rendering using Pancam's 753-, 535- and 432-nanometer filters. Image-to-image seams have been eliminated from the sky portion of the mosaic to better simulate the vista a person standing on Mars would see.
