Volcanoes-Arsia_Mons-Eruption-01.jpgArsia Mons is erupting?63 visiteIn questa inequivocabile e spettacolarmente "visiva" ricostruzione del "pennacchio" scaturito dal Vulcano Arsia Mons (un grande complimento al nostro Marco Faccin per l'idea e per l'esecuzione!), ecco che la magnitudine del fenomeno segnalatoVi nella giornata di ieri (16 Luglio 2009) si evidenzia in tutta la sua straordinaria maestosità.
Ma che cosa è successo, esattamente?
Al momento, le Fonti Ufficiali (ESA e soprattutto NASA) non dicono nulla. L'ESA, onore al merito (quando c'è!), ha divulgato l'informazione e le prime immagini; la NASA...nulla. Silenzio assoluto.
Peccato.
Peccato perchè, ora come non mai, puntare le ottiche delle Sonde Odyssey e Reconnaissance verso la caldera di Arsia Mons sarebbe una garanzia di immagini straordinarie e, certamente, di assoluto valore storico e scientifico.
Staremo a vedere...
Per il momento, l'unica ipotesi che noi, come Gruppo Lunar Explorer Italia (LunExIt), possiamo avanzare è orientata verso la verificazione di un fenomeno esplosivo (quello che ha generato la nuvola e poi il pennacchio) di considerevole portata. Se ad esso abbia fatto (e/o stia facendo) seguito una vera e propria eruzione, non lo possiamo sapere.
L'unica certezza è che "qualcosa" è successo.
Marte, se volete, ci ha dato un FORTE segnale di risveglio (ricordate che il vulcanismo è un segno tipico e caratterizzante degli ambienti geologicamente attivi).
Ora noi aspettiamo.
E continuiamo ad osservare...MareKromium

Deuteronilus_Mensae_Region-PCF-LXTT.jpgDeuteronilus Mensae (Enhanced Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunar Explorer Italia54 visiteThis image shows the Deuteronilus Mensae Region on Mars, an area primarily characterized by (peri)glacial features.
It was taken on 14 March 2005 (orbit number 1483) by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard ESA’s Mars Express with a ground resolution of approx. 29 mt per pixel.
The area is located on the Northern edge of Arabia Terra and borders the Southern High- and Northern Lowlands, at approx. 39° North Lat. and 23° East Long. MareKromium

PrometheiPlanum.jpgPromethei Terra (Natural Colors + MULTISPECTRUM; credits: ESA & Lunexit)53 visitePromethei Planum, an area seasonally covered with layer of ice more than 3500 mt thick layer of ice in the Martian South Polar Region, was the subject of the High Resolution Stereo Camera’s focus on 22 September 2005 as Mars Express was in orbit above the Red Planet.
Promethei Planum lies at approx. 76° South Lat. and 105° East Long.
An approx. 100 Km-large and 800 mt-deep impact crater is visible in the Northern part of the image. The crater’s interior is partly covered in ice.
In the centre of the image are structures that may have been created by basaltic lava flow from a volcano. This area is covered in ice. The dark dunes towards the bottom of the image are most likely made up of dust originating from this lava flow or volcanic ash.
A broad sheet of ice, which is an extension of the South Polar Ice Cap is located South of the lava flow. The steep flanks clearly show white, clean ice. The thickness of the ice is between 900 and 1100 mt.MareKromium

Craters-Pollack_Crater-H1201_0001_ND3_crop_wide-PCF-LXTT-3.jpgPollack Crater and "White Rock" (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)242 visitePollack Crater is located in the "Sinus Sabaeus Quadrangle! of Mars, at approx. 7,9° South Lat. and 334,8° West Long. Pollack Crater is about 96 Km in diameter and it was named after Dr James B. Pollack, an American physicist (1938 –1994).
Pollack Crater contains a large Light-toned Deposit (known as "White Rock" or "Pollack's White Fingers") that was once thought to be a Salt Deposit. Truth is that nobody knows, so far, the real nature of White Rock and the reason of its bright color - even though some people - Scientists and Professional Researchers - say that White Rock "only APPEARS white, but it is not", and the reason why of this appearence is in the fact that its surroundings are exceptionally dark.
On the other hand, we believe, as Lunar Explorer Italia Team, that such a "theory" is incredibly lame and does not deserve to ba called and known as a "theory" at all.
