Channel-CoracisFossae-BosporusPlanum-20091106b.jpgDry Riverbed and a possible Skylight (or an EXTREMELY fresh Impact Crater) between Coracis Fossae and Bosporos Planum (EDM - credits: Lunexit)60 visiteIl rilievo ambiguo è sostanzialmente indefinibile a questa risoluzione, ma la sua colorazione "pitch black" e l'apparente assenza di rim ci fa pensare ad un Pozzo Verticale da Collasso.
Le "sbavature" scure che caratterizzano l'intero versante Nord della Surface Feature e, in parte, il lato Est-Sud/Est (senza interessamento della sua zona Ovest ed Ovest-Sud/Ovest), invece, potrebbero anche far pensare ad un impatto il quale, oltre che essere occorso assai di recente, potrebbe - se non altro parzialmente - essere ricondotto alla Classe dei "Mid-Air Impact" (ossia il bolide generatore del dettaglio si sarebbe, in questo caso, parzialmente disintegrato - esploso - in prossimità del suolo, mentre una sua parte avrebbe comunque raggiunto la superficie, così creando un cratere).
L'ipotesi del Vertical Collapse Pit, comunque, ci sembra preferibile (anche se una ragionevole spiegazione delle "sbavature" scure, in questo scenario, non siamo in grado di poterla fornire).MareKromium

The extensive sand sheet and dunes of Rabe Crater appear bright in the InfraRed indicating they are warmer than the surrounding floor and plains materials".MareKromium

This image was taken with the THEMIS InfraRed Camera and shows the warm daytime temperature of the dunes compared to the surrounding materials".MareKromium

Jus_Chasma-NTV-MO-20090422a.jpgJus Chasma at Night (False Colors; credits: Lunexit)57 visiteCaption NASA:"This is an InfraRed image of Jus Chasma taken at night. Bright surfaces are warmer than dark surfaces; the floor of the chasma is warmer than the plains at the top of the frame. Nighttime InfraRed images are extremely helpful in identifying bedrock outcrops, which stay warmer than dust covered surfaces. The landslide is also easy to identify in this image".
