Craters-Exhumed_CFrater_in_Vastitas_Borealis-PIA03926-01.jpgA very unusually-looking Exhumed Crater (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)140 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows a circular feature on the Martian Northern Plains. It was once a crater formed by meteoritic impact. It was completely filled and buried by and within layered material. Later, the layered materials have begun to be eroded away, re-exposing the old crater rims in the process".
Location near: 44,9° North Lat. and 264,7° West Long.
Image width: ~3 Km (~1,9) mi
Illumination from: lower left
Season: Northern Autumn
Nota: a giudicare dalle fattezze emergenti dalle sabbie, più che un antico cratere sepolto ed ora in corso di 'riesumazione', diremmo che potrebbe trattarsi di un modesto rilievo vulcanico (un "camino" infossato), caratterizzato da un discreto numero di caldere. Certo, non si è mai sentito parlare di un 'vulcano sepolto' e poi riportato alla luce dal concorso degli agenti geologici ed atmosferici ma, in fondo, anche le ipotesi più 'sfrontate', alle volte, possono rivelarsi esatte.

Volcanoes-Olympus_Mons-MGS-2003_09-PCF-LXTT-00.jpgOlympus Mons (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)270 visiteCaption originale: "This is a red camera wide angle view of the Giant Martian Volcano, Olympus Mons, acquired by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC). The Volcano is large enough to cover much of the state of New Mexico. This view was taken looking West toward the Sunward Limb of the Planet. The limb is the horizon to the left; the dark band is outer space. Sunlight illuminates this scene from the lower left". MareKromiumSet 02, 2011

Utopia_Planitia-Smoke-A-M0202863-PCF-LXTT.jpgControversial Surface Feature in Utopia Planitia (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)240 visiteSiamo all'interno di un grande cratere da impatto nella parte occidentale della Regione di Utopia. Sul bordo interno del cratere, che vedete a centro immagine, ci sono dei cracks (--->fratture) piuttosto evidenti. Nei due detail mgnf che seguiranno, potrete vedere come da uno di questi cracks sembra che stia uscendo un denso fumo nero.
Prima di sposare l'ipotesi del fumo che fuoriesce dalla frattura o prima di rigettarla seccamente, ricordate che siamo a circa 380 Km di distanza dal fenomeno - qualunque esso sia - e che Marte, più passa il tempo e più cerchiamo di indagarlo e studiarlo, più ci appare indecifrabile...

South_Polar_Features-Isolated_Knob-PIA03977-PCF-LXTT.jpgSouth Polar Features: Layered Knob (Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)196 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows a small, relatively light-toned Knob of Layered Material and the erosional expression of the underlying layers, in the South Polar Region of Mars. When the image was acquired in April 2005, the surface was still covered with seasonal carbon dioxide frost. Dark spots and streaks mark locations where the frost had begun to change and sublime away".

The composition of these layered rocks is unknown — are they the remains of sedimentary rocks or accumulations of dust and ice? We'll probably not know until someone visits this area, perhaps centuries from now".
