SOL0054-PIA14762-PCF-LXTT-IPF.jpg"Bathurst Inlet" Rock - Sol 54 (Absolute Natural Colors; credts for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga/Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation)112 visite...Solo per evidenziare agli Amici di Lunar Explorer Italia la differenza che esiste tra il color processing adottato dalla NASA/JPL-Caltech (in collaborazione con il Malin Space Science Systems) e quello adottato da noi. E attenzione: qui non si discute di "estetica", ma di "verosimiglianza"! Il color processing NASA (quello del frame che precede, tanto per intenderci), presuppone l'esistenza di una nebbia gialla FITTA E COSTANTE! Una nebbia che, laddove esistesse davvero, impedirebbe di vedere oltre i 5/8 metri! Ora, che su Marte esista una discreta Opacit Atmosferica nessuno ne dubita. E nessuno dubita che Marte abbia una Dominante Cromatica giallo/arancio.
Ma quello che le foto colorizzate "ufficiali" fanno vedere e vorrebbero rappresentare, secondo noi, un Marte che - semplicemente - non esiste, se non a Pasadena e nella testa dei Signori del MSSS. Poi, giustamente, ognuno la pu vedere come vuole. Ergo...Giudicate Voi!MareKromium     (5 voti)

SOL0043-PIA16155.jpg'Jake Matijevic' - Sol 43 (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga/Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation)160 visiteCaption NASA:"The drive by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Curiosity during the Mission's 43rd Martian Day, or Sol, (such as September 19, 2012) ended with this Rock that lies at about 8 feet (such as 2,5 meters) from the Rover. The Rock is about 10" (inches, such as approx. 25 centimeters) tall and 16" (approx. 40 centimeters) wide. The Rover Team has assessed it as a suitable target for the first use of Curiosity's Contact Instruments on a Rock. The image was taken by the left Navigation Camera (or NavCam) at the end of the drive.
The rock has been named "Jake Matijevic", and this choice was made with the aim of commemorating Jacob Matijevic (1947-2012), who was the Surface Operations Systems Chief Engineer for the Mars Science Laboratory Project and the Project's Curiosity Rover. He was also a Leading Engineer for all of the previous NASA Mars Rovers, such as Sojourner, Spirit and Opportunity.
Curiosity's Contact Instruments are on a turret at the end of the Rover's Robotic Arm; they are the Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer (for reading the target's elemental composition) and the Mars Hand Lens Imager (for close-up imaging).MareKromium     (5 voti)

The GIF-Video covers approx. the last 2,5 (two and one-half) minutes of descent before the Mars Exploration Rover and Laboratory "Curiosity" landed inside Gale Crater - Mars.MareKromium     (5 voti)

SOL0003-ML0000090000E1_DXXX-GB-LXTT-3.jpgExtremely unusually-looking Rock: "The Helmet" - Sol 3 (Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech; Research: Dr Gianluigi Barca - Lunexit Team/Italian Planetary Foundation)135 visite...Senza parole... Anzi, qualcuna l'abbiamo: in primo luogo, le fattezze di questa "roccia" sono DAVVERO inusuali e, in secondo luogo, se questa "roccia" l'avessero vista i Signori di Enterprise Mission (Hoagland & C.), state pur certi che ci avrebbero gi costruito sopra un castello. Di stupidaggini, ovviamente.
Noi, come sempre, ci fermiamo a dire "Caspita: davvero strana!". La NASA, invece, queste "rocce" nemmeno le vede...
Sempre GRANDI COMPLIMENTI al nostro Dr Barca!MareKromium     (5 voti)
