SOL0027-PIA16803-PCF-LXTT-IPF.jpgOn the Floor of Gale... - Sol 27 (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color. Dr Paolo C. Fienga/Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation)150 visiteThis frame, taken by the Mast Camera (MastCam) onboard the NASA - Mars Exploration Rover (MER) - Mars Laboratory "Curiosity", shows to Planetary Researchers some very interesting colors, patterns and textures in this Unnamed Rock imaged during the 27th Martian Day, or Sol, of the Rover's work at Gale Crater - Mars (such as September, 2, 2012 on Earth). The Unnamed Rock is about 2,4" (such as approx. 6,096 centimeters) across and it shows a relatively dark gray-blue color overall, with lighter, whitish tones which are organized in patterns that may indicate/suggest the presence of distinct Crystals made of different Materials (---> Minerals) inside it.
Several Patches of very thin Dust, showing the usual (and let's say "dominant", on the Floor of Gale Crater) light brown-orange color, can also be seen all over the Rock and, in particular, on its very top as well as on to its, relatively, flat right side. Last, but not least, after a very careful observation of the lower Features of the Rock, we believe, as IPF, that the possibility where the Rock itself might be (even partially) empty (thus making it look like an irregular "bowl" or an "helmet", once it is turned upside-down) should also be considered.
This picture (which is an Original NASA - Mars Exploration Rover - Mars Laboratory "Curiosity" natural color frame published on the NASA - Planetary Photojournal with the ID n. PIA 16803) has been additionally processed and then re-colorized in Absolute Natural Colors (such as the colors that a human eye would actually perceive if someone were near the NASA - Mars Exploration Rover (MER) - Mars Laboratory "Curiosity" and then looked ahead, towards the Rock dubbed "Sutton Inlier", which is located in front of the Rover), by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically improved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team. Different colors, as well as different shades of the same color, mean, among other things, the existence of different Elements (Minerals) present on the Surface of Gale Crater, each having a different Albedo (---> Reflectivity) and Chemical Composition.MareKromiumApr 20, 2013

SOL0174-PIA16804-PCF-LXTT-IPF.jpgSutton Inlier - Sol 174 (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga/Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation)149 visiteThis frame, which was taken by the Mast Camera (MastCam) onboard the NASA - Mars Exploration Rover (MER) - Mars Laboratory "Curiosity", shows us some very interesting colors which were found inside a Rock called "Sutton Inlier": a relatively small Rock that was broken by the Rover itself, while driving over it.
The MastCam took this image during the 174th Martian Day, or Sol, of the Rover's work at Gale Crater - Mars (such as January 31, 2013 on Earth). The Rock is about 5" - inches - (such as 12,7 centimeters) wide at the end closest to the camera. The inside of the Rock, which is found in the "Yellowknife Bay" area of Gale Crater, shows us a color that lies in between from a light gray to a very pale blue, and without traces of orange or red (the colors that, as you know, are the typical ones that characterize almost all the exposed - to the Martian Open Environment - Dusty and/or Rocky Materials and Surfaces).

SOL0198-MR1007052000E1_DXXX-2-GB-LXTT-IPF-2.jpgExtremely unusually-looking Surface Features on the Floor of Gale Crater - Sol 198 (Calibrated Natural Colors; EDM: Absolute Natural Colors - Credits: Dr Gianluigi Barca/LXTT/IPF)112 visiteVi suggeriamo di focalizzare la Vostra attenzione sulla Feature situata più in basso rispetto al punto di osservazione di Curiosity.
L'apparenza, forse (e magari anche spesso), inganna... Ma il dettaglio scuro situato circa ad ore 3 del frame, a noi sembra un "Fungo" che si è piegato su se stesso (che si è "afflosciato" o "flesso", insomma). La texture ed il colore del dettaglio, comunque, mal si sposano con il macigno sul quale esso giace e le rocce che lo circondano e questa coppia di circostanze già ci dovrebbe spingere a pensar bene a quello che REALMENTE stiamo guardando.
Indicato dalla prima freccia, invece, una sorta di "Sauro" ma, in questo caso, visto frontalmente e che mostra occhi (simmetrici) e bocca. Per Onestà Intellettuale, riteniamo questo secondo particolare un possibile - e semplice - effetto ottico (un'illusione ottica, o pareidolia, in altre parole).
Ma sul "Fungo", sinceramente, noi riteniamo che bisognerebbe riflettere MOLTO BENE!...MareKromiumMar 08, 2013

Ed anche in questo caso, un GRANDISSIMO COMPLIMENTO al nostro Vice-Presidente e Partner Storico, Dott. Gianluigi Barca (alisa Big "G"). Non possiamo "spiegare", perchè non ne abbiamo i mezzi. Possiamo solo invitarVi a GUARDARE e, se ci riuscite, a VEDERE...MareKromiumMar 08, 2013

SOL0192-MF-LXTT-IPF-3.jpgExtremely unusually-looking Surface Feature on the Surface of Gale Crater: "The Transparent Ring" - Sol 192 (EDMs - Credits: Research, additional process. and color.: Elisabetta Bonora and Marco Faccin/LXTT/IPF)150 visiteIl dettaglio qui evidenziato è semplicemente affascinante e, secondo noi, ASSOLUTAMENTE REALE. Ed inspiegabile, se non altro usando la Logica e gli approcci di Ricerca Scientifica "convenzionali". Un GRANDISSIMO COMPLIMENTO a Merco Faccin ed Elisabetta Bonora per questa loro ennesima Scoperta! Il Tempo, ne siamo convinti, ci riconoscerà quei meriti che l'attuale Comunità Scientifica (gretta ed arcaica, poichè ormai chiusa "a riccio" su posizioni che non esito a definire "Medioevali" - con tutto il rispetto che il Medio Evo merita...) non è neppure in grado di comprendere.MareKromiumMar 08, 2013

SOL0192-MF-LXTT-IPF-1.jpgExtremely unusually-looking Surface Feature on the Surface of Gale Crater: "The Transparent Ring" - Sol 192 (CTX Frame - Natural Colors; Credits: Research, additional process. and color.: Elisabetta Bonora and Marco Faccin/LXTT/IPF)72 visiteUn dettaglio praticamente impossibile da individuare se non si sa ESATTAMENTE che cosa si cerca. Come vedrete meglio nella versione in colori e contrasti esaltati ed amplificati, c'è "Qualcosa" dalla forma quasi-circolare, di textura (forse) liscia e trasparente sulla Superficie di Gale Crater. Qualcosa che ha tutta l'apparenza di essere Materiale Organico. Forse saremo noi a sbagliarci ed a "Vedere troppo" nei frames Curiosity. Forse.
O forse coloro che hanno i mezzi, le capacità e, tutto sommato, il "compito istituzionale" di "vedere bene", sono un pò distratti e condizionati dall'ormai "consolidata certezza" secondo cui, su Marte, non può esistere, al momento, Vita Animale. Noi, come Gruppo di Ricerca Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation, confermiamo per l'ennesima volta che questo modo di approcciare la Materia - e cioè quello adottato dalla NASA e dagli Scienziati e Ricercatori "convenzionali" - è strabico e fuorviante. E, sempre a nostro umile parere, anche piuttosto superato dai fatti.MareKromiumMar 08, 2013
