North_Polar_Regions-North_Polar_Erg-PIA17866-PCF-LXTT-IPF-1.jpgSpring over the North Polar Erg (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation)79 visiteIn this VIS image, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on December, 1st, 2013, and during its 53.077th orbit around the Red Planet, we can see, once again, the Erg (---> Sea/Ocean of Dunes) that surrounds the North Polar Cap of Mars. It is Springtime, now, at the North Pole (---> in the Northern Hemisphere of Mars) and the Dunes are starting to lose their Frost cover. As the season continues towards Summer, the Dunes will appear darker and darker, as the Frost sublimates.
Specifically, throughout the accurate observation (and, even more, after the colorization) of the landscape that is shown here, we are able to easily notice that, in this portion of the North Polar Erg (a portion that is positioned a little more towards the South of the Northern Hemisphere - as compared to the Latitude of the Region observed during the 53.076th orbit of the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter), there has been more Frost lost from the Dunes, and this circumstance caused them to appear darker than the Dunes that were shown in yesterday's APOD.

This image (which is an Original Mars Odyssey Orbiter b/w and Map-Projected frame published on the NASA - Planetary Photojournal with the ID n. PIA 17866) has been additionally processed, magnified, contrast enhanced, Gamma corrected and then colorized in Absolute Natural Colors (such as the colors that a human eye would actually perceive if someone were onboard the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter and then looked down, towards the Surface of Mars), by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically improved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team.MareKromium

Craters-Martz_Crater-PIA16273-PCF-LXTT-IPF.jpgFeatures of Martz Crater (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga/Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation)78 visiteThis picture, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter during its 49.480th orbit around the Red Planet, shows us a small portion of the Inner Rim of the ancient Martz Crater, heavily dissected by a great number of small Channels.
Martz Crater is located in the Southern Hemisphere of Mars, in a Region known as Terra Cimmeria; it is almost 100 Km (such as a little more than 62 miles) wide and approximately 1,5 Km (such as about 0,9 miles) deep. Martz Crater is well known among Planetary Scientists because of its very prominent and steep Complex Central Peak (which is approx. 1500 meters - or 5000 feet - tall): a Central Peak that formed, like you know, at the same time of the Crater (and as a consequence of a phenomenon known as "Rebound Effect"), right after a medium-sized Celestial Object (probably something in between 0,5 to 1 Km - such as from 0,31 to 0,62 miles - across) impacted the Surface of Mars.
