SOU-SOL003-81010_full.jpgCouch Rock - Sol 3101 visiteOriginal caption:"This new view of the rock dubbed "Couch" was taken by the deployed Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) on Sol 3.
Earlier images, taken by the undeployed IMP, hinted that Couch was balanced upon the rectangular rock approximately three-quarters of the way up from the bottom of the image. The deployed IMP, standing 1,8 meters above the Martian surface, has now revealed Couch to be a free-standing object positioned at the Martian horizon".

SOU-SOL007-81315_full.jpgTracks on the orange soil of Mars (true color picture) - Sol 7101 visiteOriginal caption:"A view from the Soujourner Rover's Rear Color Camera showing wheel tracks in the orange-red martian soil".
Nota: come fare a non dubitare dell'"onestà intellettuale" della NASA e dell'ESA allorchè abbiamo davanti delle immagini di Marte come questa - la quale sarà sicuramente brutta, ma altrettanto sicuramente è in "colori veri" - che, sebbene "vecchia" (ma MAI smentita!), risulta totalmente incongruente ed incomparabile con i nuovi ed extra-sofisticati frames in colori "quasi-veri" che arrivano da Spirit, Opportunity e Mars Express?
Se questa immagine - e tutte le altre che abbiamo visto e che vedremo - é/sono "sbagliata/e", perchè la NASA non lo ha scritto, da qualche parte? E se questa 'visione' di Marte, invece, è vera, come fare a spiegarla ed a renderla congruente con quello che vediamo oggi nei frames in arrivo da Meridiani Planum e Gusaev Crater?
Sbagliavamo "ieri", sbagliamo "oggi", sono entrambe visioni erronee o qual'è il problema?

SOU-SOL039-3.jpgPre-dawn clouds (3) - Sol 39100 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This true color image shows the eastern sky, 30 degrees above the horizon at 05:13 MLT on Sol 39. The bright streaks are probably ice clouds which have formed during the night. In the true colour image, the clouds appear to be blue compared to the background. This is a real effect. Unlike the red dust, the clouds are almost invisible at infrared wavelengths.
The clouds are also moving. In order to create this image, the individual, single color, data frames have had to be shifted with respect to each other. The motion indicates that the clouds are moving from the north-east to the South-West".
ATTENZIONE: questa immagine non è altro che il medesimo frame, da noi rubricato come "Pre-Dawn Clouds (1)", capovolto e con filtro/colore modificato, passando dal Rosso/Rosa/Arancio al Verde/Azzurro! Ebbene, grazie all'attenzione che poniamo nell'analisi dei frames, questa volta la NASA può solo nascondersi: li abbiamo beccati! E, se ancora non foste convinti, andate a vedere il frame che segue il quale altro non è se non la sovrapposizione dei frames (1) e (3). La NASA avrà anche i mezzi, ma sta MENTENDO SPUDORATAMENTE DA (almeno) 40 ANNI! E sapete queal'è la cosa che più ci meraviglia? Ma come abbiamo fatto a non accorgerci prima di una simile mistificazione?
Che pena, cari Amici, che pena...

SOU-SOL008.jpgMars Panorama from Pathfinder (Carl Sagan Station) - Soles 8, 9 and 10 (Enhanced Natural Colors - top image - and Natural Colors - bottom image -; credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech)98 visiteAncora un bel panorama di Marte, così come lo vedremmo se fossimo seduti accanto alla Sonda Soujourner. Le considerazioni da svolgere sono le solite. In questo caso Vi offriamo il commento originale al frame: "Each of these panoramic views is a controlled mosaic of approximately 300 IMP images covering 360° of azimuth and elevations from approximately 4° above the horizon to 45° below it. Simultaneous adjustment of orientations of all images has been performed to minimize discontinuities between images. Mosaics have been highpass-filtered and contrast-enhanced to improve discrimination of details without distorting relative colors overall.
TOP IMAGE: Enhanced true-color image created from the "Gallery Pan" sequence, acquired on Soles 8-10 so that Local Solar Time (LST) increases nearly continuously from about 10:00 (right edge) up to about 12:00 (left). BOTTOM IMAGE: Anaglyphic stereoimage created from the "Monster Pan" sequence, acquired in 4 sections between about 8:30 and 15:00 LST on Sol 3".

SOU-SOL003-80904_full.jpgPanorama with Twin Peaks - Sol 396 visiteOriginal caption:"Named Twin Peaks, the formation of two hills in the background are of extreme geological interest. The left hill has a smooth apron which may have been caused by gravitational processes or water. The hill on the right seems to have horizontal bands running through it. As of yet unidentified, the bands may be deposits, sedimentary layers, or terraces cut by erosion.
The Twin Peaks in the distance are approximately 1,6 Km from the Sagan Memorial Station. The rocks in the foreground are very diverse. Some are rounded and suggest transport by water, others are tabular and angular and indicate non-aqueous deposition. Preliminary hypotheses are that the angular rocks were thrown from ancient, nearby impact crater sites".

SOU-SOL033-PIA01006.jpgThe "Meteorology Mast" - MET - Sol 33 (Enhanced Natural Colors; credits: NASA/JPL)92 visiteCaption NASA originale:"The Mars Pathfinder Meteorology Mast casts a shadow on the Lander Solar Array, as seen in this superpan mosaic. Looking to the South/East during the morning, the windsocks are slightly tilted, indicating the presence of a light wind from the South/West. The MET mast measured the temperature, pressure and wind speed at the Pathfinder Landing Site. During the mission, the instrument returned 8,5 million individual measurements from the Surface of Mars".

SOU-SOL042-Flat_Top_left.jpgFlat-Top close-up (1) - Sol 4292 visiteThese two images make a stereo pair taken from the Soujourner Rover's Front Cameras on the morning of Sol 42. Visible in the foreground is the rock nicknamed Flat Top. Based on previous images from the Pathfinder Lander camera, Flat Top appeared to have a layered texture (in the opinion of some scientists). These close-up images show that this is probably not the case. The texture visible on the side of the rock is made up of elongated pits, which may be either vesicles from volcanic outgassing or etches caused by weathering. The boundary between the edge and top of the rock exhibits topography, some of which correlates to the flute-like texture on the top surface. These depressions may have been carved by the wind, but more study of Flat Top is needed before this can be confirmed.

SOU-SOL003-81007_full.jpgTwin Peaks - Sol 491 visiteOriginal caption:"The two hills in the distance, approximately 1,6 Km away, have been dubbed the "Twin Peaks" and are of great interest to Pathfinder scientists as objects of future study. The white areas on the left hill, called the 'Ski Run' by scientists, may have been formed by hydrologic processes".
Nota: non sembra anche a Voi che il "Peak" alla Dx del frame assomigli, in maniera davvero impressionante, ad un'altra collinetta Marziana - molto famosa - e conosciuta come Husband Hill?!?

marspath_81977.jpgA "bright" Mistery from Pathfinder91 visiteIn tanti (a cominciare dal Prof. Richard Hoagland ed i suoi Discepoli) si sono chiesti che cosa fosse quella brillante luce che, in più di una occasione (a quanto ne sappiamo), si era accesa sulla sommità di una delle due collinette note come Twin Peaks. Si trattava forse di un riflesso dei raggi del Sole su una superficie altamente riflettente? Forse si e, immagini alla mano, questa ci sembra l'ipotesi non solo più verosimile, ma anche più probabile.
Quale fosse, tuttavia, la reale natura (cristallina o metallica?) dell'area della superficie Marziana capace di generare un simile bagliore, purtroppo, non lo sappiamo.
Peccato...MareKromium

SOU-SOL003-80903_full.jpgHorizon - Sol 390 visiteOriginal caption:"This image shows the diversity of rocks at the Ares Vallis site. The large rocks seem to lean in a uniform direction (so-called "imbrication"). This observation suggests that catastrophic floods once ran through the site. Seen on the horizon is a faint peak".
