Volcanoes-Pavonis_Mons-PCF-LXTT.jpgPavonis Mons (Enhanced and Saturated Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)100 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) wide angle color composite image, obtained in December 2003, shows the middle of the three Tharsis Montes, Pavonis Mons.
This is a broad shield volcano - similar to the volcanoes of Hawaii - located on the Martian Equator at approx. 113° West.
The Volcano Summit is near 14 Km (~8,7 mi) above the Martian Datum (such as 0 elevation); the central caldera (crater near center of image) is about 45 Km (~28 mi.) across and about 4,5 Km (~2.8 mi.) deep. Sunlight illuminates the scene from the lower left".

North_Polar_Features-Dunes-PCF-LXTT.jpgThe Frozen Dunes of the North in early Spring (Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)67 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows a group of sand dunes, covered by seasonal Carbon Dioxide frost, in the Martian North Polar Region. Over the course of Northern Hemisphere Spring, the CO2 frost sublimes away, slowly revealing the dark sand that makes up the dunes.
The dark spots in this image may be patches of freshly-exposed sand, or they could be places where the CO2 frost has changed, either becoming rougher, coarser-grained (larger crystals), or both.
A rougher or coarser-grained surface will appear darker because of an increase in shadowing of the surface by the small-scale roughness elements".

Location near: 75,2° North Lat.and 51,3° West Long.
Image width: ~3 Km (~1,9 mi)
Illumination from: lower left
Season: Northern Spring

Thaumasia_Region-The_Electric_Dunes-07.jpgThe "Bright Dunes" of Thaumasia (EDM n.2 - Enhanced Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)74 visiteUn piccolo commentino di chiusura: nessuno sa con esattezza di che cosa si tratti, ma una cosa certissima (ed un vero peccato che NESSUNO, MAI, si sia soffermato a valutarla e sottolinearla): si tratta di un'autentica Meraviglia Planetaria.

Un qualcosa che, forse, fra 1000 anni, costituir mta per Turisti Spaziali provenienti dalla Terra...e non solo.
