SOL0013-GB-LXTT-IPF.jpgExtremely unusual Surface Feature near Curiosity - Sol 3 and 13 (an Image-Mosaic by Dr Gianluigi Barca/Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation)131 visiteEffetto ottico o, effettivamente, una curiosa figura "serpentina" (simile ad un fossile, che pare disegnare una lettera "G") è stata più volte ripresa dal Rover Curiosity sin dal Terzo Sol di permanenza su Marte, Regione di Gale Crater? Nessuna certezza, solo qualche immagine, che Vi mostriamo sperando che Voi possiate suggerirci qualcosa al riguardo...MareKromium

Fienga - Lunar Explorer Italia - Italian Planetary Foundation)88 visiteCaption NASA:"A chapter of the Layered Geological History of Mars is laid bare in this postcard from NASA's Curiosity Rover. The image shows the base of Mount Sharp, the Rover's eventual (---> final) science destination. This image is a portion of a larger image taken by Curiosity's 100-millimeter Mast Camera on Aug. 23, 2012".MareKromium

SOL0002-NLA_397681339EDR_F0020000AUT_04096M-PCF-LXTT-IPF.jpgThe Inner Rim of Gale Crater - Sol 2 (Calibrated Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunar Explorer Italia - Italian Planetary Foundation)106 visiteThis image was taken by the Left A NavCam (NAV_LEFT_A) onboard the NASA - Mars Rover Curiosity on Sol 2 (such as August, 8, 2012 at 07:04:32 UTC) of the Rover Mission to Gale Crater. The distant Rim of Gale Crater appears "fuzzy" (---> out of focus, blurred) because of the presence of a certain amount of Fog (mostly suspended Microscopic Dust Particles and, maybe, some Microscopic Water-Ice Cristals) in the air (Lower Atmosphere); right in front of the Left A NavCam, the Surface is heavily disturbed and that fact was due to the action of the retrorockets which allowed Curiosity to make (always relatively speaking) a "Soft Landing".
"...Thrust from the rockets actually dug a one-and-a-half-foot-long [0.5-meter] trench in the Surface. It appears we can see Martian Bedrock on the bottom. Its depth below the Surface is valuable data we can use going forward..." said Dr John Grotzinger, Project Scientist for the Mission from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.MareKromium

Fienga - Lunexit Team)124 visiteSono i nostri stessi Amici di Pasadena a dire che le condizioni di illuminazione di Marte, Regione di Gale Crater, non sono ottimali (meno del 50% dell'Illuminazione Solare Diffusa rispetto alla Terra e TAU elevata), e questo è il risultato della ricalibrazione di un'immagine NASA/JPL-Caltech - MER and Lab.

SOL0538-6012_PIA17944-FigA_Mcam-SOL538-raw-full2.jpgLooking Back - Sol 538 (Natural Colors - Credits: NASA)95 visiteThis look back at a dune that NASA's Curiosity Mars rover drove across was taken by the rover's Mast Camera (MastCam) during the 538th Martian Day, or Sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars (Feb. 9, 2014). The Rover had driven over the dune three days earlier. For scale, the distance between the parallel wheel tracks is about 9 feet (i.e.: approx.
2,7 meters). The dune is about 3 feet (a little more than 1 meter) tall in the middle of its span across an opening called "Dingo Gap". This view is looking Eastward. This raw color image was recorded by the camera under Martian lighting conditions. MareKromium
