Valles_Marineris_with_Water_and_Vegetation.jpgThe Last Days of Mars: The Great Valles Marineris Region (Credits: Don Edwards and Paolo C. Fienga)128 visiteDear Friends of Lunar Explorer Italia and the Italian Planetary Foundation,
starting from yesterday, January, 13th, 2014, we have decided to submit to your careful attention and consideration, 5 (five) "Martian Fantasies" which, in our opinion, may give you an idea about how Mars could have looked like near the end of its "Life" (as we know it, of course). We imagined the existence of some residual Wet-Lands (for instance, a few Lakes with some small River nearby), and a little Vegetation, located just in their immediate proximities.
And then ... a boundless Desert. In other words, only a few "Oasis of Life", made of residual Waters and a minimal Local Vegetation, and both completely surrounded by the yellow and orange Sands of a Desert which, in a (we believe, relatively) short amount of time, would have covered the entire Planet, and turned it into what we can see today.
This "Computer-made Reconstruction" shows you a portion of the Great Valles Marineris Canyon System, when some Residual Waters and Vegetation were still inside and near (in the close proximities of) this extremely famous Martian Geological Feature.
Note: for a better understanding of what we have been trying to show you here, please consider that in the locations where the color of the Residual Waters tends towards the green and a very light blue, it means that said Residual Waters are already very shallow; on the other hand, the darker the color of the Residual Waters gets, then the greater is their actual depth.
Please, some feedback on your side will be deeply appreciated and, therefore, do not hesitate to write to us and let us know what you think of these "Fantasies" which we have decided to entitle "The Last Days of Mars".
Thanks and enjoy!

Noctis_Labyrinthus_with_Water_and_Vegetation.jpgThe Last Days of Mars: Noctis Labyrinthus Region (Credits: Don Edwards and Paolo C. Fienga)116 visiteDear Friends of Lunar Explorer Italia and the Italian Planetary Foundation,

This "Computer-made Reconstruction" shows you a portion of the Noctis Labyrinthus, in a time that, as you can see, was VERY close to the complete desertification of the entire Region.
Note: for a better understanding of what we have been trying to show you here, please consider that in the locations where the color of the Residual Waters tends towards the green and a very light blue, it means that said Residual Waters are already very shallow; on the other hand, the darker the color of the Residual Waters gets, then the greater is their actual depth.

E, se esiste, allora vale la pena trovarlo, guardarlo e, nel Tempo, tentare di comprenderlo...MareKromium
