SOL0002-NLA_397681339EDR_F0020000AUT_04096M-PCF-LXTT-IPF.jpgThe Inner Rim of Gale Crater - Sol 2 (Calibrated Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunar Explorer Italia - Italian Planetary Foundation)106 visiteThis image was taken by the Left A NavCam (NAV_LEFT_A) onboard the NASA - Mars Rover Curiosity on Sol 2 (such as August, 8, 2012 at 07:04:32 UTC) of the Rover Mission to Gale Crater. The distant Rim of Gale Crater appears "fuzzy" (---> out of focus, blurred) because of the presence of a certain amount of Fog (mostly suspended Microscopic Dust Particles and, maybe, some Microscopic Water-Ice Cristals) in the air (Lower Atmosphere); right in front of the Left A NavCam, the Surface is heavily disturbed and that fact was due to the action of the retrorockets which allowed Curiosity to make (always relatively speaking) a "Soft Landing".
"...Thrust from the rockets actually dug a one-and-a-half-foot-long [0.5-meter] trench in the Surface. It appears we can see Martian Bedrock on the bottom. Its depth below the Surface is valuable data we can use going forward..." said Dr John Grotzinger, Project Scientist for the Mission from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.MareKromium

SOL0174-PIA16804.jpgSutton Inlier - Sol 174 (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: NASA/JPL)104 visiteThe Mast Camera (MastCam) on NASA's Mars Rover Curiosity showed researchers interesting internal color in this rock called "Sutton_Inlier," which was broken by the Rover driving over it. The Mastcam took this image during the 174th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars (Jan. 31, 2013). The rock is about 5" (12 cm) wide at the end closest to the camera. This view is calibrated to estimated "Natural" Color, or approximately what the colors would look like if we were to view the scene ourselves on Mars. The inside of the rock, which is in the "Yellowknife Bay" area of Gale Crater, is much less red than typical Martian dust and rock surfaces, with a color verging on grayish to bluish.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project and the mission's Curiosity rover for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The rover was designed and assembled at JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.MareKromium

SOL0369-RRB_430259923EDR_F0130000RHAZ00311M_.jpgCosmic Ray? - Sol 369102 visitePossibile Raggio Cosmico a Dx del frame (pessimo, come gli altri). ATTENZIONE: in alto, in centro. Può essere una "prova" di "oggetto ignoto" che sorvola la zona oppure di errore nella trasmissione dei dati. Ma NON è un vizio delle lenti del Rover.
p.s.: se riuscite a vederla, la linea interrotta bianca in alto (e che va da Sx a Dx) è indicazione dell'esistenza di un file audio associato al frame.MareKromium

SOL0069-EB-MF-LXTT-IPF.jpgBright Soil Particle at Rocknest - Sol 69 (an Image-Mosaic in Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Elisabetta Bonora and Marco Faccin/Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation)101 visiteThese four (4) images show an interesting detail found in a small Pit (or "Bite") created when the NASA - Mars Exploration Rover and Laboratory "Curiosity" collected its second scoop of Martian Soil at a Sandy Patch nicknmaed "Rocknest." The bright Soil Particle visible in the center of each of the four images - which is basically very similar to other particles located elsewhere in the Pit itself, but not visible here - caused a certain and immediate concern because a small, light-toned shred of Debris from the Spacecraft had already been observed just a few Soles before, in a nearby location. However, in this case, the Mission's Science Team assessed that this bright Soil Particle which has ben exposed and scooped in the Pit, is to be considered as Native Martian Material, rather than another Debris coming from the Spacecraft.
These four images were all taken by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) Camera that is positioned on Curiosity's Robotic Arm during the 69th Martian Day, or Sol, of its Mission (such as October, 15, 2012) at Gale Crater, and about a week after the Scoop dug this little hole. The view here covers an area of ground which is less than half a centimeter across.
These four images, which are all NASA - Mars Exploration Rover and Laboratory "Curiosity" b/w frames (identified by the serial n. visible in the lower left side of each picture) have been additionally processed and then colorized in Natural Colors (such as the colors that a perfect human eye - or an Electronic Eye - would actually perceive if someone were on the Surface of Gale Crater - Mars -, near the NASA - Mars Exploration Rover and Laboratory "Curiosity", and then looked down, towards the little Pit excavated on the Surface, by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically improved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team.MareKromium
