SOL0174-PIA16804.jpgSutton Inlier - Sol 174 (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: NASA/JPL)99 visiteThe Mast Camera (MastCam) on NASA's Mars Rover Curiosity showed researchers interesting internal color in this rock called "Sutton_Inlier," which was broken by the Rover driving over it. The Mastcam took this image during the 174th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars (Jan. 31, 2013). The rock is about 5" (12 cm) wide at the end closest to the camera. This view is calibrated to estimated "Natural" Color, or approximately what the colors would look like if we were to view the scene ourselves on Mars. The inside of the rock, which is in the "Yellowknife Bay" area of Gale Crater, is much less red than typical Martian dust and rock surfaces, with a color verging on grayish to bluish.

JUPITER_S_RINGS-01-PIA25038_width-640.jpg100 visiteCaption NASA Originale:"This high-resolution image of Jupiter's main dust ring was collected by the Stellar Reference Unit (SRU) navigation camera aboard NASA's Juno spacecraft. The image was taken from inside the ring looking out as Juno flew between Jupiter and the radiation belts during the spacecraft's 36th close flyby on Sept. 2, 2021. The brightest thin dust bands are associated with the orbits of Jupiter's small moons, Metis and Adrastea. The image is at a resolution of nearly 20 miles (32 kilometers) per pixel".MareKromiumGen 02, 2022

SOL0589-NRB_449790582EDR_F0310000NCAM00262M_.jpgBright Spark in the distance (Original NASA - Mer Curiosity Frame) - Sol 589140 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.

Mars-subframe-SOL-unknown-315_0.gifAnother Streak in the Martian Sky (MER and Sol unknown)140 visiteImmagine apparentemente genuina ed il cui contenuto è chiaro: è una (delle tante) "Streak in the Martian Sky". Purtroppo non siamo in grado di dire con certezza a quale Sol si riferisca, né il Rover che ha effettuato la ripresa. E' comunque possibile che si tratti di un'immagine ottenuta dal MER Spirit durante il Sol 315.MareKromiumDic 30, 2021

UFO-11-0.jpgUFO or Lens Flare (1) - full frame120 visiteI took this picture in Novo Hamburgo city, in the south of Brazil, photographed – between 8:30 and 9:00 PM on October 22nd, 2013 – a strange object in the sky.
Canon Rebel T-4, ISO 100, f/4.5, 30" exposure, 35 mm
EXIF Data:
Camera Used: Canon Canon EOS REBEL T4i
Exposure Time: 30/1
Aperture: f/4.5
ISO: 100
Date Taken: 2013:10:24 09:55:10
I usually shy away from UFO stuff these days, even though I have seen several, but, I like this one. As mentioned I think it is visually impressive. And it’s on Spaceweather, which doesn’t hurt. Also appearing here in the local paper/site (in Portuguese. They wrote:
"Strange object in the Sky
A citizen from Novo Hamburgo, in the south of Brazil, photographed – between 8:30 and 9 PM on 22nd october – a strange object in the sky. Specialists disagree on what it could be. One of Them said that it is not a weather balloon. Another said that is not a paramotor. Some say it could be a drone (unmanned the vehicle). And there are those who claim that it is just a lens flare.
Is this "thing" a UFO? Technically, yes, it is, but semantically it depends on what you personally think when you hear that term. Lens flare is popular in the comments section, as expected. Could very well be lens flare but I do not think so at this moment. Could of course be lots of things".
WARNING! Se leggete con attenzione le dichiarazioni dell'Autore dello scatto (ignoto) e quindi i dati tecnici della ripresa, troverete una notevole discrepanza. L'Autore dello scatto dice che la fotografia è stata ottenuta fra le 20:30 e le 21:00 del 22 Otytobre 2013. Ma i dati della fotografia, come da lui stesso estrapolati, parlano del 24 Ottobre 2013, ore 09:55 (il che significherebbe "tarda mattinata"). Comunque questo è un dettaglio. Ciò che vale notare è la notevole diversità di data e di orario.
NOTA: gli EXIF Data. Letteralmente, Exif è l’acronimo di Exchangeable Image File Data (in italiano Dati Intercambiabili di un File-Immagine). Trattasi di informazioni che riguardano i dati di scatto di una fotografia e tutte le informazioni collegate alla immagine ottenuta, e cioé:
• i dati tecnici di scatto (per es.: lunghezza dell'esposizione; lunghezza focale della fotocamera ecc.)
• il tipo di fotocamera utilizzata
• l’obiettivo utilizzato
•l a data e l’ora di scatto eccetera.
Sono tutte informazioni che possono essere utili per svariati ordini di motivi. Comunque, i dati Exif, chiamati anche "Metadati", sono le informazioni che una fotocamera (p.e.: reflex, mirrorless, compatta, bridge ma anche di smartphone) registra per ogni fotografia scattata.MareKromiumDic 30, 2021

UFO-11-1.jpgUFO or Lens Flare? (2) - EDM128 visiteCome "Lens Flare" è/sarebbe davvero anomala. Esistono altre immagini di "cose" simili a quella di cui si scrive ma, come sempre, sono indefinibili. In altre parole, provano che "qualcosa" è stata ripresa o si è "creata" all'interno della lente della macchina fotografica e null'altro. Comunque una cosa la possiamo dire: le "Lens Flares" esigono l'esistenza di una "notevole", ancorché solo puntiforme, sorgente di luce che è di regola visibile nel fotogramma o appena al di fuori di esso. In questo frangente, se osservate il Frame Contestuale, noterete che, luci della strada a parte, la Sorgente - diciamo - "Generatrice" della Lens Flare non c'è. Per cui, come sempre, decidete quello che credete e, se volete, commentate. MareKromiumDic 30, 2021

Mars_Anomaly_03.jpgFountain of Light or just another Hoax? 3 - Sol 589146 visiteMa non lo vede anche un incompetente che quella Luce "sbuffa" verso l'alto? Ma come si fa a non vederlo?!? Un "Raggio Cosmico" che "impatta" la Camera CCD del Rover? Ma quando mai si è vista una cosa del genere? Quando??? MAI! E se non mi credete andate a guardarvi un tre/quattro centinaia di migliaia di frame (uno ad uno, ovviamente) e poi mi direte. E se avete idee od ipotesi migliori - mi ripeto - scrivete. Se non ne avete...Tenetevi le panzane (od anche "fesserie", a voler esser buoni) della NASA ben strette. E Auguri!...MareKromiumDic 28, 2021

Mars_Anomaly_00.jpgOver-Saturation Effect (detail) - Sol 589135 visitePalese effetto da Sovra-Saturazione, dovuta ad oggetto metallico, cristallino (dunque altamente riflettente la luce del Sole) oppure emittente Luce Propria. Ma leggete cosa la NASA ha scritto...
"One possibility is that the light is the glint from a rock surface reflecting the Sun", NASA imaging scientist Justin Maki said to the Houston Chronicle. And then: "When these images were taken each day, the Sun was in the same direction as the bright spot, (such as) W/N-W from the Rover and relatively (maeaning???) low in the Sky".
In a statement made to Space.com, Maki added another possibility, i.e. that the light could be caused by the way Sunlight managed to hit Curiosity’s camera.
"The Rover Science Team is also looking at the possibility that the bright spot could be Sunlight reaching the camera's CCD [Charge-Coupled Device] directly through a "vent hole" in the camera housing, which has happened previously on other cameras on Curiosity and other Mars Rovers when the geometry of the incoming Sunlight - relative to the camera - is precisely aligned”. he said.
Della serie: "Troviamo un'obiezione (cioé stupidata) assurda e complicatissima che nessuno (o quasi) capirà mai. Così tutto va a posto". BRAVI! Obbiettivo raggiunto. Ma NON per "tutti"...
Ma c'é di più.
"The photo in question was taken on April 3 by Curiosity’s right-hand Navigation Camera, and shows what looks an awful lot like a bright, shining light off in the distance. NASA itself has not commented on the nature of the light, but UFO watchers have wasted no time suggesting it’s not natural and, therefore, a sign of alien life.
"This could indicate there there is intelligent life below the ground and uses light as we do," Scott Waring wrote on his UFO Sightings Daily website. "This is not a glare from the Sun, nor is it an artifact of the photo process. Look closely at the bottom of the light. It has a very flat surface giving us 100% indication it is from the surface”.
“Sure NASA could go and investigate it, but hey, they are not on Mars to discover life, but there to stall its discovery,” he concluded.
Others aren’t quite convinced. The editor of All About Space magazine, Ben Biggs, told The Daily Mail that people shouldn’t be leaping to such dramatic conclusions so quickly. “While the ‘light’ is as yet unexplained, it's quite a leap to assume that it has an intelligent source,” he said. “The public can afford to speculate wildly but NASA is an organization internationally renowned for credible science. It needs to exhaust every other likely explanation before it can begin to explore less realistic phenomena.”
Although NASA has yet to release a statement, Doug Ellison of the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory dismissed the idea that the light was proof of intelligent life. On Twitter, he told NBC News the beacon is a “cosmic ray hit,” noting that there is no light on the image taken by the left-hand navigation camera, which was also captured at the exact same moment.
Della serie: "Prima cosa negare, poi - semmai - investigare".
Ma, dico io, su cosa? Su un effetto di sovra-saturazione che conoscono anche i dilettanti? Ma non era "più facile" dire la cosa più ovvia ed anche più probabile? (magari anche un "out-gassing", tipo quelli che occorrono sulla Luna e danno vita ai TLP?) ... No. Tutto, tranne l'ovvio e l'altamente probabile. Raggi Solari incidenti su una "roccia" altamente riflettente (stupidata planetaria!); raggio (casuale) di Luce Solare che "inganna" la fotocamera del Rover (taccio per decenza...); Raggio Cosmico che "colpisce" la camera CCD del Rover (una possibilità su "n" miliardi...) e così via.
Ed allora io "deduco" - da quanto sopra - che o non sanno fare il "loro" mestiere (ergo sono incompetenti), oppure non sanno a cosa attaccarsi per giustificare e spiegare un evento altrimenti difficilmente (esclusa la sovra-saturazione) spiegabile. Povera NASA! E, soprattutto: poveri noi!
p.s.: io (a scanso di equivoci) NON dico né ho mai detto (rectius: scritto) che trattasi di "Segnale di Vita Intelligente"! Io ho solo scritto che le "spiegazioni" date dai "Fenomeni" della NASA sono improbabili (rectius: stupide). Tutto qui. Ne avete di "migliori"? Scrivete (senza limitarvi a leggere e, magari, a criticare o scopiazzare). Grazie.MareKromiumDic 28, 2021

Xmas_Truce_1914.jpgThat Day of Peace of 107 years ago208 visiteThere are times when people simply forget what they are made of and other moments when we remember the "Legacy" that should limk us all.
Today, December 24th 2021, We decided, as Lunar Explorer Italia, to wish you a Peaceful Christmas Eve and a serene Christmas Day. And, to do so, we decided to forget the Planets and the Stars for a day, and make a jump back in time. This Historical Event that we wish to remember is worldwide known as "The Christmas Truce" of 1914.
It seemed (and, perhaps, it still seems) impossible that anything like that might have happened during those war times and in those circumstances. But the "Miracle" of Christmas did happen, and we should remember it (once again) and be proud of that unbelievanle event which took place 107 years ago.
And perhaps we should remember it NOW more than ever. As you all know, we live a period where pain, death, violence and even a thick feeling of hopelessness and diffuse paranoia seem to have flooded our World.
We must look forward, of course. But, sometime, in order to walk toward a better Future, it might be good thing to look at a now far and distant past.
We want to remember that Night of the AD 1914, the Men who made the Miracle to happen a we wish a new Miracle to come, all over the Earth, by the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
May the infinite Galaxies of the Universe shine bright for you all, whoever you are and wherever you live. Tonight, tomorrow and through the Time that will come. Merry Christmas!

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.
