SOL3048-1050_E-PIA24662-LXTT-IPF.jpgIridescent Clouds over Gale Crater - Sol 3048145 visiteCaption NASA Originale:"NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover spotted these Iridescent, or “Mother of Pearl,” Clouds on March 5, 2021, the 3.048th Martian Day, or Sol, of the Mission. Seen here are five images stitched together from a much wider panorama taken by the rover’s Mast Camera, or Mastcam". MareKromiumGen 01, 2023

SOL3072-4-PIA24646-Curiosity_Navigation_Cameras_Spot_Twilight_Clouds_on_Sol_3072.gifNoctilucent Clouds over Gale Crater - Sol 3072 (GIF-Movie)108 visiteCaption NASA Originale:"Using the Navigation Cameras on its Mast, NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover took these images of clouds just after sunset on March 28, 2021, the 3.072nd Sol, or Martian Day, of the Mission. These Noctilucent, or Twilight Clouds, are made of Water Ice, such as ice crystals that reflect the setting Sun, allowing the detail in each cloud to be seen more easily".MareKromiumGen 01, 2023

SOL3219-E3-PIA23139.jpgKnockfarril Hill - Sol 3219 (Natural Colors)116 visiteCaption NASA Originale:"The Mast Camera (MastCam) on NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover captured this mosaic as it explored the "clay-bearing unit" on Feb. 3, 2019 (Sol 2309). This landscape includes the rocky landmark nicknamed "Knockfarril Hill" (center right) and the edge of Vera Rubin Ridge, which runs along the top of the scene".MareKromiumGen 01, 2023

SOL3423-PIA25176-8192x2276.jpg"(Alli)Gator Back" Rocks on "Greenheugh" - Sol 3423174 visiteNASA’s Curiosity Mars rover used its Mast Camera, or MastCam, to take this 360° panorama on March 23, 2022, the 3.423th Martian Day, or Sol, of the Mission. The team has informally described the wind-sharpened rocks seen here as “gator-back” rocks because of their scaly appearance.
Wind-sharpened rocks like these are called ventifacts, and are responsible for chewing up Curiosity’s wheels earlier in the mission. Since then, rover engineers have found ways to slow wheel wear, including a traction control algorithm. They also plan rover routes that avoid driving over such rocks, including these latest ventifacts, which are made of sandstone – the hardest type of rock Curiosity has encountered on Mars.
These rocks form the Surface of the “Greenheugh Pediment,” a broad, sloping plain in the foothills of Mount Sharp. The floor of Gale Crater is visible along the edges of the mosaic. When Curiosity’s team saw the gator-back rocks, they ultimately decided to turn the rover around and take an alternative path to continue climbing Mount Sharp, a 3,4-mile-tall (approx. 5,5-Km-tall) mountain that Curiosity has been ascending since 2014. As it climbs, Curiosity is able to study different sedimentary layers shaped by water billions of years ago. These layers help scientists understand whether microscopic life could have survived in the ancient Martian Environment.MareKromiumGen 01, 2023

SOL3299-1-PIA24937-A_Picture_Postcard_from_Curiositys_NavCams-bicolor.pngA colourful "Postcard" from Mars - Sol 3299133 visiteStupenda. Ma, a mio parere, un bel pò "forzata" la colorizzazione (la reputo, per esperienza, assai poco realistica). Se poi il Cielo di Marte fosse davvero così, allora, io non ho capito niente (e va bene così) ma...WOW, what a view!!! Bello per gli "Umani" che ci andranno (semmai ci andranno)...
Nota: ed infatti la NASA stessa dice "...NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover used its black-and-white Navigation Cameras to capture panoramas of this scene at two times of day. Blue, orange, and green color was added to a combination of both panoramas for an artistic interpretation of the scene..."MareKromiumGen 01, 2023
