Cartwheel Galaxy.jpgThe "Cartwheel Galaxy"70 visite"...Souls of poets dead and gone,
What Elysium have ye known,
Happy field or mossy cavern,
Choicer than the Mermeid Cavern?
Have ye tippled drink more fine
Than mine host's Canary wine?..."
John Keats (1795 - 1821) - "Lines on the Mermeid Cavern" (1820)

SOL621-9-Everest_L257atc-A622R1.jpgFragments of a "strange" Panorama - Sol 62170 visiteOriginal caption:"Haze occasionally obscured the view of the hills on the distant rim of Gusev Crater 80 Km (50 miles) away. As DDs swooped across the horizon in the upper right portion of the panorama, the robotic explorer changed the filters on the camera from red to green to blue, making the dust devils appear red, green and blue. In reality, the dust devils are similar in color to the reddish-brown soils of Mars. No attempt was made to "smooth" the sky in this mosaic, as has been done in other panoramic-camera mosaics to simulate the view one would get by taking in the landscape all at once. The result is a sweeping vista that allows viewers to observe weather changes on Mars.
The summit of Husband Hill is a broad plateau of rock outcrops and windblown drifts about 100 mt (300 feet) higher than the surrounding plains of Gusev Crater. In the distance, near the center of the mosaic, is the South Basin, the destination for the downhill travel Spirit began after exploring the Summit Region".

OPP-SOL644-1P185353757EFF6444P2567L3M1.jpgThe incredible "Dunes" around Erebus Crater (1) - Sol 64470 visiteE' stato analizzando questa immagine che, semmai ce ne fosse stato ancora bisogno, ci siamo convinti che la natura delle "dune" di Meridiani è completamente diversa dalla natura delle dune dei deserti terrestri. Osservate i dettagli di questo frame e poi andate a guardare il prossimo, dove abbiamo cerchiato alcune configurazioni che la semplice sabbia, a nostro parere (a meno che non venga "compressa", in qualche modo), non riuscirebbe MAI a produrre naturalmente.
Dunque le sabbie di Meridiani sono intrise di ghiaccio d'acqua? E se fosse così - come la logica ed il buon senso suggeriscono a gran voce - perchè la NASA si ostina a parlare di "arido deserto di sabbia e polveri"?
Cosa c'è "sotto" le sabbie di Meridiani?...

SOL653-02-PIA03233.jpgEast Basin (2) - Sol 65370 visiteOriginal caption:"Dark features on the far side of the basin, just left of center in this view, are basaltic sand deposits that were emplaced on the lee sides of hills by northwesterly winds. Haskin Ridge is visible along the right margin of the image, capped by a light-toned layer of rock.
Spirit investigated the light-toned rock unit after taking this image.
The basaltic plains located east of the Columbia Hills can be seen in the distance beyond East Basin. The rim of Thira Crater is just visible on the distant horizon some 15 Km (about 9,3 miles) away".
