ESP_16978_1730-MF-LXTT1.jpgFalling Down... (an Image-Mosaic by Dr Marco Faccin - Lunexit Team)69 visiteThe lower flanks of Arsia Mons, one of the giant volcanoes on Mars, is riddled with Pits of various sizes. These have been of great interest to a number of researchers because they have the potential to be openings into underground caverns.
Such caverns have some potential for holding ice and offer protection from radiation and small meteorites. These are good things if one is looking for a safe place for current life on Mars or future human life.
However, this image shows some of the pitfalls of such hopes. Most of these pits are largely filled with rubble and dust that hide any potential links to larger underground areas. Furthermore, the entrances are steep and rocky, making them difficult areas to traverse. They would be a very exciting, if not safe, place to visit!MareKromium

Fienga - Lunexit Team)69 visiteDust Devils make dark, diffuse scribble markings on the Surface by kicking up Dust and are especially active in the Summertime over Dark Surfaces, such as those with many deposits of sand-sized material.
The Surface warms up in the Sunlight, creating the right conditions to form Dust Devils. Mars also has larger dust storms that can deposit a thin layer of Dust and eliminate the Dust Devil Tracks. MareKromium

PSP_001474_2520_RED-new_lake-01.jpgThe Northern Lakes: Lake "Lunexit" (extra-detail mgnf)68 visiteEd una volta operato un extra-detail mgnf a noi pare che non possano esserci più dubbi di sorta: sul fondo di questo Cratere c'è un deposito di ghiaccio (l'albedo del ghiaccio d'acqua non tradisce!) e quindi, come già fatto in passato, possiamo parlare tranquillamente di Frozen Lake.MareKromium
