SOL1083-2P222482431EFFASCGP2749R7M1.jpgImage-Artifacts and a (candidate) "Shooting Star"?!? - Sol 1083144 visiteSe ne sono dette tante (e scritte anche di più...), ma la Verità è ancora elusiva, più che mai: il dettaglio cerchiato in questo frame è un semplice image-artifact o si tratta di qualcosa di diverso?

Certo, "quelli che sanno" diranno subito che si tratta di un difetto dell'immagine e, forse, costoro avranno anche ragione...Ma la similitudine (o somiglianza, se Vi piace di più) fra questo "candidate image-artifact/shooting star" ed una "striscia nel cielo" che ha fatto e fa ancora discutere davvero tantissimo, anche alla NASA (era nel cielo di Marte sempre dalla parte di Spirit - che allora si stava avvicinando al Cratere Bonneville), c'è ed è evidente.

E' il segno visibile di un "bolide", come dissero alla NASA ipotizzando anche la natura "artificiale" del bolide stesso - forse la Sonda Viking Orbiter 2 che, entrata in crisi orbitale, abbandonò la sua quieta orbita per precipitare e quindi incenerirsi (come una stella cadente) negli strati superiori dell'atmosfera Marziana?
E' solo una sonda (una delle tante che ruotano attorno a Marte...) in semplice transito?
E' un O.V.N.I.?
O forse - ed infine - è un mero difetto del frame?...

Decidetelo Voi, naturalmente.
Noi una certa idea ce la siamo fatta ma - come si dice? - "non vogliamo condizionare i Lettori con le nostre speculazioni"...

SOL0589-NRB_449790582EDR_F0310000NCAM00262M_.jpgBright Spark in the distance (Original NASA - Mer Curiosity Frame) - Sol 589141 visiteThis image from the Navigation Camera (Navcam) on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover includes a bright spot near the upper left corner. The sun is in the same direction, west-northwest, above the frame. Bright spots appear in images from the rover nearly every week. Typical explanations for them are cosmic rays hitting the light detector or sunlight glinting from rocks.

The right-eye camera of the stereo Navcam recorded this frame during the afternoon of the 589th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars (April 3, 2014), from the site where the rover reached a waypoint called "the Kimberley" by that sol's drive. An image taken by the Navcam's left-eye camera within one second of the same time (http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?rawid=NLB_449790582EDR_F0310000NCAM00262M_&s=589) does not include a bright spot of this type. A pair of Navcam images in the same direction from the previous afternoon has a bright spot similarly located in the right-eye image http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?rawid=NRB_449700848EDR_F0301254NCAM00252M_&s=588) but not in the left-eye image (http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?rawid=NLB_449700848EDR_F0301254NCAM00252M_&s=588).

One possible explanation for the bright spot in this image is a glint from a rock surface reflecting the sun. Another is a cosmic ray hitting the camera's light detector, a CCD (charge-coupled device). Cosmic ray patterns in Mars rover images vary from a dot to a long line depending on the angle at which the ray strikes the detector.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. JPL designed and built the project's Curiosity rover and the Rover's Navcam.

The lunar sunset terminator is at 140° E and runs through the large dark-floored crater Tsiolkovsky, about 240 Km diameter towards the bottom of the Moon. The part of the Moon visible in this image is the western far side. North is at 1:00. The frame has been turned upside down to give the correct orientation (Lunar Orbiter 4, frame M-123)".

Mars_Anomaly_01.jpg
Mars_Anomaly_01.jpgFountain of Light or just another Hoax? 1 - Sol 589267 visiteA white light captured emanating from Mars' Surface is back and is as mysterious as ever.
(By James Pero For Dailymail.com – Published: 19:28 GMT, 21 June 2019 | Updated: 20:37 GMT, 21 June 2019)

In a photo snapped by NASA's Curiosity Rover, which has been traversing Mars' Surface since 2012, the robotic explorer caught an anomaly mingled among the planet's rolling landscape. Floating just above a dune on the right side (Dx) of the black-and-white image, Curiosity spotted a hard-to-miss white light.
Images taken directly before and after the anomaly which are time-stamped about a minute apart show up show no signs of any lights.
Though NASA hasn't yet addressed what the light is, it has acknowledged similar phenomena in the past, when the Curiosity rover happened upon an equally mysterious illumination on Mars' surface in 2014.
In a statement to DailyMail.com, a NASA spokesperson offered up a simple, if unsatisfying suggestion. 'One possibility is that the light is the glint from a rock surface reflecting the sun,' a spokesperson said in a previous report.
'When these images were taken each day, the sun was in the same direction as the bright spot, west-northwest from the rover, and relatively low in the sky.
Alternatively, the NASA spokesperson said the light may have resulted from sunlight reflecting off of the rover's sensors. Similar reflections from the Sun have cropped up in photos in the past when the sun is aligned at various positions in the sky.
'The Rover Science Team is also looking at the possibility that the bright spots could be caused by Cosmic Rays striking the camera's detector.'
When it comes to the Curiosity Rover, NASA has keyed in on other shiny phenomenon in the past, including what were believed to be fragments of a meteorite glinting in the Sun.
