SOU-SOL003-80904_full.jpgPanorama with Twin Peaks - Sol 3104 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-SOL032.jpgRock Garden - Sol 32 (Enhanced Natural Colors; credits: NASA/JPL)104 visiteThis enhanced color image mosaic of the Rock Garden area west of the lander was made using images acquired in the mid-morning of Sol 32 by the IMP camera as part of the Super-Pan data set.
At each camera frame position, a Super-Pan image contains 15 frames (6 frames for 3-color stereo and 9 more individual narrow color bands). This mammoth color and stereo data set will be used to derive high quality topographic maps of the surface and detailed shapes of rocks and other surface features, and to map subtle chemical, mineralogical, and textural variations on rocks and soils. Red, green, and blue filter images from the right eye were combined to simulate slightly amplified natural color. The "bookshelf" rocks visible in the background include Shark, Half-Dome, Moe and Stimpy. The Rover Soujourner completed imaging and APXS measurements of these rocks on Sol 71. Small rocks below and to the right of Flat Top appear to have been moved and/or pushed into the soil, probably by the spacecraft during landing. A portion of South Peak is visible in the upper right corner of the mosaic. One of the solar-panel-covered lander petals and the forward rover ramp are visible in the foreground.

SOU-SOL011-marspath_sunset3.jpgThree moments of the Sunset - Sol 11103 visiteCrepuscolo Marziano, in tre momenti distanti solo pochi secondi l'uno dall'altro.
Colori naturali, ma "enhanced" (diciamo "forzati" nelle loro sfumature essenziali).

SOU-SOL033-PIA01006.jpgThe "Meteorology Mast" - MET - Sol 33 (Enhanced Natural Colors; credits: NASA/JPL)102 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-SOL072-Chimp_right~0.jpgChimp-Rock - Sol 72102 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This image of the rock Chimp was taken by the Soujourner Rover's Front Camera on Sol 72 (September 15, 1997). Fine-scale texture on Chimp and other rocks is clearly visible. Wind tails, oriented from lower right to upper left, are seen next to small pebbles in the foreground. These were most likely produced by wind action".

SOU-SOL065.jpgMoe and Half Dome - Sol 65 (Approx. True Colors; credits: NASA)101 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This color image shows the Soujourner Rover's Alpha Proton X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) deployed against the rock "Moe" on the morning of Sol 65. The rock behind the rover is "Half Dome", which was previously measured by the APXS.

SOU-SOL003-81007_full.jpgTwin Peaks - Sol 4100 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?!?

SOU-SOL003-80903_full.jpgHorizon - Sol 398 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".

SOU-SOL005-81097_full.jpgCasper - Sol 598 visiteOriginal caption:"Casper, the light colored rock in the middle left of this image, is a prime target for the APXS. The disturbed soil in the lower right of this image was caused by the retraction of the airbags".
