SOU-SOL039-1.jpgSagan Memorial Station - Sol 3978 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This is one of the best images of the Sagan Memorial Station taken by the Soujourner Rover. Looking out from the Rock Garden, the Camera Mast and High Gain Antenna can clearly be seen above the American flag and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory logo".

Feltri)124 visiteUn intrigante GIF-Movie, creato dal Dr Alessio Feltri, il quale ci mostra una delle collinette che tanto hanno intrigato Hoagland e la sua "Scuola". Il titolo più appropriato per questo filmato? "Come sembra, come è"!MareKromium

SOU-SOL029-Sunrise_stills.gifSunrise on Mars - Sol 29 (coloring: NASA)56 visiteUna nostra opinione su questi (suggestivi) "stills" dell'alba Marziana: ottimi frames, colori (ribadiamo) "suggestivi" ed "affascinanti"...Ma secondo noi COMPLETAMENTE ERRATI (oppure, se preferite, talmente "stretchati/esasperati" sulla dominante rosso-arancio che, alla fine, il risultato è totalmente non realistico).MareKromium

SOU-SOL039-5-SunrisePthf-PIA01548_modest.jpgSunrise on Mars from Pathfinder - Sol 39 (True Colors; credits: NASA/JPL)159 visiteCaption NASA:"Sunrise, Sol 39. This true color, pre-sunrise image (approximately 05:30 MLT) is composed of six images extending 30 ° in azimuth and 45 ° in elevation and shows the brownish gray predawn sky. A description of the techniques used to generate this color image from IMP data can be found in Maki et al., 1999. Note: a calibrated output device is required accurately reproduce the correct colors.
Mars Pathfinder is the second in NASA's Discovery program of low-cost spacecraft with highly focused science goals. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, developed and manages the Mars Pathfinder mission for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, D.C. JPL is an operating division of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). The IMP was developed by the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory under contract to JPL. Peter Smith is the Principal investigator".

SOU-SOL024-1.jpgSunset (1) - Sol 2467 visiteThis is a close-up of the Sunset on Sol 24. The red sky in the background and the blue around the Sun are approximately as they would appear to the human eye. The color of the Sun itself is not right - the Sun was over exposed in each of the 3 color images that were used to make this picture - and it might be near white or slightly bluish.

SOU-SOL024-2.jpgSunset (2) - Sol 2469 visiteThis image of the Martian sunset from Sol 24 shows much more color variation than had previously been seen. The blue color near the Sun is not caused by clouds of water ice, but by the Martian dust itself. The dust in the atmosphere absorbs blue light, giving the sky its red color, but it also scatters some of the blue light into the area just around the Sun because of its size. The blue color only becomes apparent near Sunrise and Sunset, when the light has to pass through the largest amount of dust.

SOU-SOL024-PIA01547.jpgSunset on Mars from Pathfinder and...A Star-Like Object! - Sol 24 (True Colors; credits: NASA/JPL)423 visiteCaption NASA:"The brownish gray sky as it would be seen by an observer on Mars in this four-frame, True Color mosaic taken on sol 24 (at approximately 16:10 M.L.T.). The Twin Peaks can be seen on the horizon. The sky near the sun is a pale blue color. Azimuth extent is 60° and elevation extent is approximately 12°. A description of the techniques used to generate this color image from IMP data can be found in Maki et al., 1999.

SOU-SOL013-Sunset-NASA.gifSunset over Ares Vallis - Sol 13 (GIF-Movie - False Colors; credits: NASA)58 visiteCaption NASA:"Animation of the Martian Sunset.
This movie is made from 9 images of the twilight following Sunset over Ares Vallis. The images are enhanced in order to show the very subtle features in the haze, which are probably caused by layers that are slightly dustier than the surrounding air. The color is not the true color of the sunset - that is shown in other images.
At the beginning, the Sun is on the horizon just to the right of the frame, and it sinks during the next hour. At the time of the last image the sky is only 1% as bright as at the beginning, but the IMP can easily adapt to the darkness and return these pictures. Because there is so much dust extending high into the Martian Sky, the Sky stays bright for more than an hour after sunset".MareKromium
