ESP_017693_1795_RED_abrowse.jpgThermal Anomaly in Aeolis and Zephyria Regions (Saturated Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)130 visiteThis image is taken of an interesting Linear Surface Feature in the Aeolis and Zephyria regions. Using the daytime IR imaging data from the THEMIS instrument, this feature has a higher daytime temperature than its surroundings while also being relatively dark.
When viewed at full HiRISE resolution, this area contains Sand Ripples with some consolidated, Bedrock-like material poking through. These Bedrock Outcrops are more pronounced along the southern portion of the image and are most apparent in the region of the Thermal Anomaly. The Outcrops trend generally East-West and appear sculpted by aeolian erosion.
In the area of the Anomaly, the sand between these Outcrops has a darker tone and gradually blends with the lighter material to either side. This darker sand may be the reason why the material has a "hot" signature compared to its surroundings, because dark materials absorb sunlight more efficiently.
Features similar to the one in this image help researchers to characterize such features and to understand whether such exposures may indicate possible Hydrothermal Fissures, or perhaps be just an exposure of a darker underlying material.

Craters-Gale_Crater-PIA16148-PCF-LXTT-IPF.jpgCuriosity Traverse Map through Sol 29 (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga/Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation)130 visiteCaption NASA:"This Map shows the route driven by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity through the 29th Martian Day, or Sol, of the Rover's Mission on Mars (such as September 4, 2012). The route starts where the Mars Science Laboratory Spacecraft placed the Rover, a Site subsequently named "Bradbury Landing". The line extending toward the right (---> Eastward) from Bradbury Landing is the Rover's Path. Numbering of the dots along the line indicate the Sol number of each drive. North is up. The scale bar is 200 meters (656 feet).
By Sol 29, Curiosity had driven at total of 358 feet (such as 109 meters). At the location reached by the Sol 29 drive, the Rover began several Soles of Arm Characterization Activities. The "Glenelg Area", which is farther East, is the mission's first Major Science Destination, selected as likely to offer a good target for Curiosity's first analysis of powder collected by drilling into a Rock".MareKromium
