Craters-Becquerel_Crater-Layers-01.jpgBeautiful Layers inside Becquerel Crater: Human Vision (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)159 visiteOriginal caption:"This MGS-MOC image shows light-toned, layered, Sedimentary Rock Outcrops in Becquerel Crater , located in the Western Arabia Terra Region. The Crater may once have hosted a lake, into which these sediments were deposited. Although the fine, detailed layering in Becquerel was not known until the MGS-MOC first began to image these materials in 1999, the presence of a grossly-layered, light-toned feature was known from Viking orbiter images and was speculated from those data to possibly represent evidence for the presence of a former lake".

Aeolian_Features-Windstreaks-Chrise_Planitia-MGS-01.jpgWindstreaks in Chryse Planitia (Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)195 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows two Unnamed Impact Craters of nearly equal size, plus their associated Windstreaks. These occur in far Eastern Chryse Planitia. The Wind streaks point toward the South-West, indicating that the responsible Winds blew from the North-East. One of the two craters is shallower than the other and has a suite of large, windblown Ripples on its Floor. The shallower Unnamed Crater with the Ripples is probably older than the other, deeper Unnamed Crater".

Channels-Inverted_Channels_in_Arabia_Terra-PIA03643-01.jpgInverted channels of Arabia Terra (1 - Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)159 visiteOriginal caption:"This MGS-MOC image shows a somewhat sinuous, nearly flat-topped Ridge, located in Eastern Arabia Terra. The ridgetop was once the Floor of a Valley, perhaps carved by running water. The Valley Floor, or material that covered the Floor, was more resistant to erosion than the surrounding rock into which the Valley was cut. Thus, over time, the Valley disappeared and its Floor was left standing high as a Ridge. Inverted Valleys are common on Mars, but they also occur on Earth".
