OPP-SOL879-1N206212400EFF74AZP1795R0M2.jpgWhat "lies" in a picture... - Sol 87967 visiteChe cosa "giace" (lies) in una semplice immagine e che cosa "è mendace" (lies) nella medesima immagine? Giudicatelo Voi! Questo (a nostro onesto parere "illuminante") extra-detail mgnf è un omaggio agli Amici di Pasadena (che, come sappiamo, leggono quotidianamente, tra gli altri, anche il nostro Sito) ed a colui - o coloro - che "pasticcia" le immagini in arrivo da Marte.
Attenti: questo è un esempio, ma di frames altrettanto controversi ce ne sono a migliaia!

QB-VikingOne-PIA08616-02.jpgViking One: the Landing Site, 30 years after the landing... (3)67 visiteCaption NASA originale:"The MOC image of that location, acquired in 2003, showed additional near-field features (rocks associated with a nearby crater) that closely matched the Viking 1 images (frames 2 and 3, where "B" denotes "Volkswagen Rock"). The inset (upper right of frame 3) is an enlargement that shows the location of the Viking 1 Lander.
The MOC image of the Viking 1 Lander Site (3) was acquired during a test of the MGS Pitch and Roll Observation (PROTO) technique conducted on May 11, 2003. (Following initial tests, the "c" part of "cPROTO" was begun by adding compensation for the motion of the Planet to the technique). The PROTO or cPROTO approach allows MOC to obtain images with better than its nominal 1,5 mt (5 ft) per pixel resolution.
The image shown here (3) was map projected at 50 cm (~20") per pixel. The full 11 May 2003 image can be viewed in the MOC Gallery, it is image R05-00966.
In addition to celebrating the 30th anniversary of the first U.S. robotic Mars landing, we note that 20 July is also the 37th anniversary of the first human landing on the Moon, on 20 July 1969. There are two dates that are most sacred in the space business (three, if you count the 4 October 1957 launch of Sputnik 1). The other date is 12 April, which celebrates the 1961 launch of the first human in space, and the 1981 launch of the first space shuttle orbiter".

36-AMI_EAE3_001775_00019_00020_H.jpgCrater Gruithuisen-B and Gruithuisen Montes67 visiteCaption ESA originale:"This image, taken by the Advanced Moon Imaging Experiment (AMIE) on board ESA's SMART-1 spacecraft, shows the Gruithuisen Area on the Moon.
AMIE obtained this image on 1 January 2006, from a distance of about 2154 Km from the surface, with a ground resolution of 195 mt per pixel.
The area shown in the image is centred at a Latitude of 34.8º North and Longitude 40º West.
The prominent bowl-shaped crater close to the left edge of the image is Gruithuisen-B. Gruithuisen itself is just visible at the right edge of the image. The mountains visible in the area are called Montes Gruithuisen.
It is possible to note the large number of similar sized craters to the right of the centre of the image. They are so-called secondary craters, produced by ejecta particles from a large impact which fell back to the Moon".

Oberon-vg2_2683623-1.jpgOberon's "Peak"67 visiteEd ecco il più intrigante rilievo superficiale di Oberon: una montagna (la cui forma, per gli appassionati di "Space Oddities", ricorda una specie di piramide) di circa 6000 mt di altezza che spicca, molto chiaramente, sul bordo di questa affascinante e lontano Corpo Celeste.

APOLLO 15-0326.jpgAPOLLO 15-0326 - Aristarchus67 visiteAristarchus is a large crater on the edge of a plateau within Northern Oceanus Procellarum. In this scene the crater is viewed obliquely from the North. One of the brightest and youngest craters of its size on the Near-Side of the Moon, Aristarchus is believed to be younger even than Copernicus. The general appearance of Aristarchus and of parts of the plateau around it led Alfred Worden, the Apollo 15 CMP, to describe this part of the Moon as "... probably the most volcanic area that I've seen anywhere on the surface". For many years before the Apollo Missions, Earth-based viewers had reported telescopic sightings of TLP's centered on Aristarchus. These brief, subtle changes in color or in sharpness of appearance have been suggested as evidence for volcanic activity or the venting of gases from the lunar interior. The sightings are controversial, but Aristarchus remains a center of interest.
About 39 Km in diameter, Aristarchus is on the borderline between medium-sized and large- sized craters. We have included it among the large craters because its welldeveloped concentric terraces are characteristic of most large craters that have not been too severely degraded. Its terraced walls, as well as its arcuate range of central peaks, are particularly well shown in this view. The walls and parts of the crater floor are extremely rough and cracked, a characteristic feature of other young impact craters of this size range, such as Tycho and Copernicus. The rough deposits in the floor are probably made up largely of shockmelted material formed at the time of the impact. The inner, rougher portions of the rim show a series of channels, lobate flows, and smooth puddlelike deposits that may represent shock-melted material deposited on the crater rim. The outer, smoother portions show the rhomboidal pattern characteristic of crater ejecta blankets.
