Craters-Korolev_Crater-PIA06896-PCF-LXTT.jpgWave Clouds off Korolev Crater (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)77 visiteCaption NASA:"This red wide angle Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows a wavy Cloud Pattern formed in the lee of Korolev Crater, which is located near 72,8° North and 195,7° West (Vastitas Borealis Region). Korolev Crater is about 85 km (approx. 53 mi) in diameter and named for Sergei P. Korolev, a pioneering Russian rocket designer and engineer who died in the mid-1960s. The image, acquired in late Northern Summer, is illuminated by sunlight from the lower left".MareKromium

PSP_007961_2530_RED.jpgWestern Rim Region of Korolev Crater (possible True Colors; credits: Lunexit)56 visiteThis image was originally suggested by Ehsan Sanaei’s high school astronomy club in Yazd, Iran. They write, “[We are interested in] exploring the impact region near the northern Martian Pole and observing the contrast between ice-covered and [non-ice covered] Regions.”
Mrs. Stoica’s 9th grade class, at Tudor Vianu High-School of Computer Science, in Bucharest, Romania, helped to analyze the image by writing that “we observe a major crater, a small mountain chain, dunes and a series of small valleys and crevasses which [contain] ice.”
Indeed, this image shows part of the western rim of Korolev Crater, a prominent 80-Km-diameter crater located in the Northern Polar Region. It was taken in Northern Spring and shows dark regions of dust and sediment and bright regions of ice and frost. At highest resolution both bright and dark areas of the surface are covered by polygonal fracture patterns.
Although much of the ice has likely started to sublimate (change from a solid to a gas) in the darker regions, ice fills the fractures.MareKromium

Nota Lunexit: la porzione centrale e superiore Dx del frame appare leggermente offuscata. Un fatto curioso, riscontrabile anche nel frame 23114, ma con la "nebbia" in posizione leggermente diversa (in basso a Sx).
Qualche Appassionato ha legittimemente ipotizzato la verificazione di un possibile TLP; secondo noi, invece, si tratta del finestrino dal quale sono state ottenute le immagini che al momento degli scatti era, probabilmente, un pò appannato.MareKromium
