Hills_with_Snow-MGS-PCF-LXTT.jpgWould you like to ski on Mars? (Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)198 visiteUna fantastica ripresa effettuata dalla Sonda MGS ci permette di vedere degli abbondanti depositi di neve (o di qualcosa che alla neve assomiglia davvero moltissimo) sui fianchi di alcune colline Marziane. Non c' nulla di scientifico nel desiderio di dare un'occhiata da vicino a questi pendii innevati: Scienza anche Curiosit e, come gi dicemmo in passato, Bellezza. L'idea di passeggiare (o anche di sciare, perch no?...) alle pendici di una montagna di Marte che giace, parzialmente ricoperta di neve, in uno spesso ed inviolabile silenzio, la troviamo splendidamente affascinante. Chiss se, un giorno, una simile passeggiata potr essere davvero possibile e chiss chi sar il primo Uomo (o la prima Donna) a farla...MareKromium

PHOE-SOL022-PIA10905.jpgSnow-White - Sol 22 (MULTISPECTRUM; credits: Lunexit)66 visiteCaption NASA:"NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander began excavating a new trench, dubbed "Snow White", in a patch of Martian Soil located near the center of a polygonal surface feature, nicknamed "Cheshire Cat".
The trench is about 2 cm (0,8") deep and 30 cm (about 12") long.
The "dump pile" is located at the top of the trench, the side farthest away from the Lander, and has been dubbed "Croquet Ground". The digging site has been named "Wonderland".
At this early stage of digging, the Phoenix team did not expect to find any of the white material seen in the first trench, now called "Dodo-Goldilocks". That trench showed white material at a depth of about 5 cm (approx. 2"). More digging of Snow White is planned for coming Martian Days.
The dark portion of this image is the shadow of the Lander's Solar Panel; the bright areas within this region are not in shadow.
Snow White was dug on Sol 22 (June 17, 2008) with Phoenix's Robotic Arm. This picture was acquired on the same day by the lander's Surface Stereo Imager. This image has been enhanced to brighten shaded areas". MareKromium

PHOE-SOL144-PIA11724.jpgFrost inside "Snow-White" - Sol 144 (False Colors, according to NASA)67 visiteCaption NASA:"The Surface Stereo Imager (SSI) on NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander took this shadow-enhanced false color image of the "Snow White" trench, on the eastern end of Phoenix's digging area.
The image was taken on Sol 144, or the 144th day of the mission, Oct. 20, 2008.
Temperatures measured on Sol 151, the last day weather data were received, showed overnight lows of minus128 Fahrenheit (-89 Celsius) and day time highs in the minus 50 F (-46 C) range.
The last communication from the Spacecraft came on Nov. 2, 2008".MareKromium
