Psp_010656_2170_red.jpgThe "Omega" Crater of Ismenius Lacus (possible True Colors; credits: Lunar Explorer Italia)61 visite
Per gli amanti dei Misteri Orbitali e delle possibili "Forme Assonanti" (con questa definizione si intendono tutti i rilievi superficiali situati su mondi extraterrestri i quali, in ragione della loro distanza dal punto di osservazione, o per motivi oggettivi - ex.: affinità morfologica -, o per entrambe le ragioni, richiamano alla mente dell'Osservatore dei rilievi superficiali artificiali che sono individuabili sulla Terra), ecco a Voi il (piccolo) "Cratere Omega".
Il nome del cratere (battezzato da noi e quindi, ufficialmente, ancora "Unnamed") lo abbiamo scelto in ragione della sua forma inequivocabile (che ricorda una "Omega", appunto), ma il mistero che lo caratterizza è dato da almeno due eccellenti motivi: 1) la sua forma (che è - quasi - perfettamente circolare e 2) la lacuna di rim sul suo versante Nord (Sx dell'Osservatore).
Una lacuna decisamente bizzarra non solo perchè i suoi margini sono smussati e regolari (vedere per credere!), ma anche perchè, se si fosse trattato - come è comunque probabile che sia - di un cedimento naturale, allora c'è davvero da chiedersi che fine avranno mai fatto i detriti derivati dal crollo...
Insomma: se si vuole, se c'è pazienza nella ricerca e nello studio, se si possiede un pizzico di immaginzione e, soprattutto, se e quando si OSSERVA BENE, di rilievi superifciali ambigui (come minimo) se ne possono trovare OVUNQUE!
Ed è quest'ultimo dato (la localizzazione: OVUNQUE) che ci spinge, talvolta, a ritenere che le storie sull'esistenza di una possibile - ma antichissima - Civiltà Marziana potrebbero possedere un minimo di sostanza (comunque ancora tutta da ricercare e dimostrare, DIMENTICANDO - se possibile - Cydonia Mensae).

PSP_010638_1890_RED_abrowse-00.jpgAngular Unconformity in Cerberus Fossae (ctx RAW frame)83 visiteThis HiRISE image shows a part of the Cerberus Fossae, a long system of aligned fissures. The Cerberus Fossae were the source of the youngest major volcanic eruption on Mars that covered much of the surrounding area in lava. The region has also seen much other volcanic activity.
The walls of the fissures typically reveal lava layers. At this site, they have cut through an older hill that protrudes above the surrounding plains. The layers within the hill are tilted relative to the overlying rock, which appears to drape the region and runs continuously over the hill and plains.
This tilted contact is known as an Angular Unconformity. It is most likely that this formed when horizontal layers were tilted by faults before the most recent volcanic eruptions, forming the irregular hills.
The hills represent relatively old rock, while the smooth plains and the thin draping cover were formed more recently.MareKromiumGen 25, 2009
