PHOE-SOL132-PIA11716.gifBefore the Snowfall... - Sol 132 (GIF-Movie; credits: NASA)91 visiteCaption NASA:"Clouds of dust and ice swirl past the Surface Stereo Imager (SSI) camera on NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander in a series of images taken on the 132nd Martian day of the mission (Oct. 7, 2008). The images show the increase in storm activity and potential for snowfall".MareKromium

Un nuovo ed ECCEZIONALE Lavoro del Dr Faccin per meravigliarsi, valutare e discutere.MareKromium

PHOE-SOL104-PIA11153.jpgVastitas' Dust Devil - Sol 10484 visiteThe vertical post near the left edge of this image is the "Mast" of the Meteorological Station on Phoenix.
The DD visible at the horizon just to the right of the mast is estimated to be 600 to 700 meters (about 2000 to 2300 feet) from Phoenix, and 4 to 5 meters (10 to 13 feet) in diameter.
It is much smaller than DDs that have been observed by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit much closer to the Equator and it is closer in size to Dust Devils seen from orbit in the Phoenix Landing Region, though still smaller than those.
The image has been enhanced to make the Dust Devil easier to see. MareKromium

PHOE-SOL001-lg_398-001.jpgGood-Evening Phoenix! - Sol 1 (True Colors and MULTISPECTRUM; credits: Lunexit)83 visiteL'immagine non è particolarmente suggestiva o impressionante, ma è piuttosto chiara (forse leggermente sfuocata, ma non sapremmo dire se si tratta di O.A. oppure di una calibrazione ancora imperfetta degli strumenti di ripresa di Phoenix) e ci mostra il suolo della Regione Marziana nota come Vastitas Borealis: Regione di "poligoni", terreni e crateri ghiacciati e, forse, di piccoli "laghetti" (abbiamo diverse immagini MRO che mostrano rilievi circolari ad albedo elevatissima, ergo rilievi coerenti con l'idea di laghetti gelati). Che dire? Grandissimi complimenti alla NASA, al Phoenix Lander Team ed a Lunar Explorer Italia che è stata la prima Libera Associazione di Ricerca in Europa (e, riteniamo, al Mondo) a mostrare gli "early frames" ottenuti da Phoenix in versione "a colori" (True e Natural, con trattamento Multispettrale). Bravi tutti.
Ed ora, vediamo che cosa accadrà nei prossimi Soles...MareKromium

PHOE-SOL099-PIA11073.jpgPhoenix Conductivity Probe after Extraction - Sol 99 (natural colors; credits: NASA)81 visiteCaption NASA:"NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander inserted the 4 needles of its Thermal and Conductivity Probe into Martian soil during the 98th Sol of the mission and left it in place until Sol 99 (Sept. 4, 2008).
The Surface Stereo Imager on Phoenix took this image on the morning of Sol 99 after the probe was lifted away from the soil. This imaging served as a check of whether soil had stuck to the needles.
The Thermal and Conductivity Probe measures how fast heat and electricity move from one needle to an adjacent one through the soil or air between the needles. Conductivity readings can be indicators about water vapor, water ice and liquid water.
The probe is part of Phoenix's Microscopy, Electrochemistry and Conductivity suite of instruments".MareKromium
