Controversial_Features-The_Bridges_of_Meroe_Patera-MGS-1.jpgThe "White Bridges" of Meroe Patera (Original NASA/MGS/MSSS CTX b/w Frame)70 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows terrain South-West of Meroe Patera in Syrtis Major Planum, Mars. Wind streaks formed in the "lee" (the downwind side) of impact craters are common throughout the scene, including the small impact crater near the center of the image with light-toned ejecta radiating outward from its rim.
Near the South (Dx) of the image, 3 light-toned slope streaks, created by dry mass movements of dust, extend down the sloping side walls of two overlapping impact craters".
Location near: 5,3 North; 295,4 West
Image width: ~3 Km (~1,9 mi)
Illumination from: lower left

Sysiphi_Planum-MGS-PCF-LXTT-02.JPGSysiphi Planum (Original NASA-MSSS RAW b/w Frame)69 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows a spine of material exposed in the Sisyphi Planum Region of Mars.
Gullies can be seen on the deeply-shadowed ridge slope.
Mass movement (landsliding - maybe?) has contributed to the erosion of this ridge and the creation of the apron of talus that surrounds it".

Troughs-Olympica_Fossae-MGS-03.JPGTroughs System in Olympica Fossae (Original NASA/MGS/MSSS b/w Frame)67 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows a wide, flat-floored Trough flanked by several smaller, branching Troughs in the Olympica Fossae Region of Mars. Dark and intermediate-toned Slope Streaks both created by dry Avalanches of Dust occur on the Trough Walls".
Location near: 25,1 North; 113,8 West

Craters-Unnamed_South_Polar_Crater-1.jpgBuried and Frozen (1)68 visiteCaption originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows an eroded stack of layered material in a crater of the South Polar Region of Mars.
The composition of the layers is not known; some speculate that they may contain a combination of dust and ice, or possibly ancient sedimentary rock".

Aeolian_Features-Windstreaks-Chrise_Planitia-MGS-00.jpgSigns of the wind in Chryse Planitia (Original NASA/MGS/MSSS b/w Frame)71 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows two Unnamed Impact Craters of nearly equal size, plus their associated Windstreaks. These occur in far Eastern Chryse Planitia. The Wind streaks point toward the South-West, indicating that the responsible Winds blew from the North-East. One of the two craters is shallower than the other and has a suite of large, windblown Ripples on its Floor. The shallower Unnamed Crater with the Ripples is probably older than the other, deeper Unnamed Crater".

Collapse_Features-Trough-Cerberus_Fossae-01.jpgFeatures of Cerberus Fossae (Original NASA/MGS/MSSS EDM b/w Frame) 97 visiteCerchiatura Rossa: presenza di un gruppo di almeno cinque corpuscoli puntiformi (rocce cristalline?) i quali, pur essendo in ombra, appaiono decisamente molto luminosi.
Si nota inoltre, proprio al centro della Cerchiatura Rossa, la presenza di un rilievo scuro (un altro "seep" oppure un'ombra vera e propria?) i cui contorni, tuttavia, sembrano troppo netti per farci pensare ad un rilievo naturale (non pensiamo ad una manipolazione digitale bens, piuttosto, ad un rilievo troppo complesso da potersi vedere chiaramente ad una risoluzione che, pur se buona, ancora troppo bassa per consentire la visione accurata di profili particolarmente intricati come potrebbe essere quello in questione).

Collapse_Features-Trough-Cerberus_Fossae-00.jpgFeatures of Cerberus Fossae (Original NASA/MGS/MSSS CTX b/w Frame)91 visiteCaption originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows a landscape in the Eastern Cerberus Region that was scoured by catastrophic Floods, and later cut by a deep, dark-walled Trough. The Trough is radial to the Elysium Volcanic Region, and formed along Faults in the Bedrock".
Location near: 15,7 North Lat. and 196,6 West Long.
Image width: ~3 Km (~1,9 mi)
Illumination from: lower left
Season: Northern Winter
Nota: l'immagine davvero spettacolare ed anche prodiga di dettagli (grazie ad un'eccellente definizione); purtroppo, per, non riusciamo a vedere bene se, nelle parti pi in ombra - e forse anche pi profonde - del crepaccio che lacera la porzione orientale della Regione di Cerberus, si nasconde qualcosa di particolare, oltre alle "dunette sinuose" (una forma affine ai Side-Winders di Meridiani Planum).
Cerchiature Verdi: agevole notare la presenza di ampie chiazze scure su buona parte del SOLO versante occidentale (Sx) del crepaccio le quali, secondo noi, NON sono assolutamente delle ombre. E' del tutto ovvio che la reale natura delle "macchie" sia indefinibile da questa altezza (380 Km) e con questa definizione, ma l'ipotesi che si tratti di "affioramenti di umidit", ovvero di "seeps" molto estesi ed in corso di sviulppo, o magari di aree ricoperte da una sorta di vegetazione indigena (magari muschi e licheni?), come gi pensano in molti, non ci sembrano tanto irrealistiche.

Buttes-Argyre_Planitia-MGS.jpgUnusually-looking Butte in Argyre Planitia (Original NASA/MGS/MSSS b/w Frame)83 visiteCaption originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows a layered mound, buried under a thin coating of material hard enough to have been cut by shallow fractures, on the floor of the giant Argyre Basin. The material beneath the basin floor is layered; this is an eroded (and then thinly-buried) remnant of some of that layered material".
Location near: 54,2 South Lat. and 46,7 West Long.;
Image width: ~3 Km (~1,9 mi);
Illumination from: upper left.

Chaotic_Terrain-Aram_Chaos-R2200155-09.jpgThe "Many Faces" of Aram Chaos (10 - EDM n. 9 - Original NASA/MGS/MSSS b/w Frame)67 visiteE dunque, alla fine, qual' il "vero volto" di Aram Chaos, come del resto di Marte? Noi non lo sappiamo, ovviamente, per, come fa il Dr Skipper (che comunque stimiamo) e tanti altri Ricercatori, noi continuiamo a cercarlo...

Chaotic_Terrain-Aram_Chaos-R2200155-05.jpgThe "Many Faces" of Aram Chaos (6 - EDM n. 5 - Original NASA/MGS/MSSS b/w Frame)74 visiteDunque: manipolazione delle immagini spinta sino a livelli estremi; Aram Chaos una Regione di Marte su cui ancora scorrono, sia pure in misura minima, acque superficiali; questa Regione, al pari di altre, si in parte - e recentemente - stabilizzata (climatologicamente e geologicamente) ma ancora soggetta ad un generale processo di desertificazione, con costante perdita delle acque superficiali le quali vengono "ingoiate" da Marte a vantaggio della sua "rete idrica sotterranea".
Questi - e scusateci se siamo stati troppo sommari - ci sembrano essere i punti nodali della costruzione del Dr Skipper su Aram Chaos.
"If what we are seeing of these elevated mounts in this poor resolution imaging as released to us is mostly real visual evidence as opposed to evidence mostly obscured and/or created by image tampering, then we may be looking at camouflaged fortified elevated but partially underground civilization places. The nozzle shooting spray evidence in Report #029 suggests that there may be artificiality and possibly advanced technology associated with this mount evidence capable of not only capitalizing on this ground water rich environment but influencing and modifying this environment through technology as well"
