Craters-Rabe_Crater-PCF-LXTT.jpgOn the Floor of Rabe Crater (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)232 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows remnants — Buttes and Knobs — of light-toned rock, perhaps sedimentary in origin, on the Floor of Rabe Crater. The Buttes and Knobs are surrounded by dark, windblown Sands which have been criss-crossed by Dust Devil Tracks".

Channels-Unnamed_Channel_in_Stygis_Catena-PIA07133-01.jpgAncient Riverbed in Stygis Catena (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)166 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows a Trough (Trough ---> canale) in the Stygis Catena Region, East of the Martian Volcano Elysium Mons. The Trough probably formed by collapse (Collapse ---> geol. "cedimento" del terreno). Large, dark Boulders can be seen on the Trough Floor in this Volcanic Region. The image is located near 24,4° North Lat. and 210,4° West Long. The image covers an area about 3 km (approx. 1,9 mi) wide and sunlight illuminates the scene from the lower left".MareKromium

North_Polar_Features-North_Polar_Scarp-MGS-01.jpgNorth Polar Panorama (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)171 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows a steep slope in the North Polar Region of Mars. The stripes indicate an exposure of layered material; the variations in brightness among the stripes are the result of varying amounts and textures on seasonal Carbon Dioxide (CO2) frost. At the time the image was acquired - such as in June 2006 -, the Carbon Dioxide frost was beginning to sublime way, leaving a variety of different patterns in frost distribution".

Craters-Becquerel_Crater-Layers-01.jpgBeautiful Layers inside Becquerel Crater: Human Vision (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)153 visiteOriginal caption:"This MGS-MOC image shows light-toned, layered, Sedimentary Rock Outcrops in Becquerel Crater , located in the Western Arabia Terra Region. The Crater may once have hosted a lake, into which these sediments were deposited. Although the fine, detailed layering in Becquerel was not known until the MGS-MOC first began to image these materials in 1999, the presence of a grossly-layered, light-toned feature was known from Viking orbiter images and was speculated from those data to possibly represent evidence for the presence of a former lake".

Aeolian_Features-Windstreaks-Chrise_Planitia-MGS-01.jpgWindstreaks in Chryse Planitia (Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)189 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".

Channels-Inverted_Channels_in_Arabia_Terra-PIA03643-01.jpgInverted channels of Arabia Terra (1 - Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)154 visiteOriginal caption:"This MGS-MOC image shows a somewhat sinuous, nearly flat-topped Ridge, located in Eastern Arabia Terra. The ridgetop was once the Floor of a Valley, perhaps carved by running water. The Valley Floor, or material that covered the Floor, was more resistant to erosion than the surrounding rock into which the Valley was cut. Thus, over time, the Valley disappeared and its Floor was left standing high as a Ridge. Inverted Valleys are common on Mars, but they also occur on Earth".
