SOL3299-1-PIA24937-A_Picture_Postcard_from_Curiositys_NavCams-bicolor.pngA colourful "Postcard" from Mars - Sol 3299140 visiteStupenda. Ma, a mio parere, un bel p "forzata" la colorizzazione (la reputo, per esperienza, assai poco realistica). Se poi il Cielo di Marte fosse davvero cos, allora, io non ho capito niente (e va bene cos) ma...WOW, what a view!!! Bello per gli "Umani" che ci andranno (semmai ci andranno)...
Nota: ed infatti la NASA stessa dice "...NASAs Curiosity Mars rover used its black-and-white Navigation Cameras to capture panoramas of this scene at two times of day. Blue, orange, and green color was added to a combination of both panoramas for an artistic interpretation of the scene..."MareKromium

SOL3167.jpgFunny Sky... - Sol 3167151 visiteLa NASA ci dice che si tratta di "false colors" (od anche "white balanced"). Va bene. Ci credo. O forse no...
Caption NASA originale: "Images of knobbly rocks and rounded hills are delighting scientists as NASAs Curiosity Rover climbs Mount Sharp, a 5-mile-tall (such as approx. 8-Km tall) mountain within the 96-mile-wide (such as about 154-Km wide) basin of Mars Gale Crater. The rovers Mast Camera, a.k.a. MastCam, highlights those features in a panorama captured on July, 3rd, 2021 (i.e. the 3167th Martian Day, or Sol, of the Mission)".
This location is particularly exciting: Spacecraft orbiting Mars show that Curiosity is now somewhere between a Region enriched with clay minerals and one dominated by salty minerals called Sulfates. The mountains layers in this area may reveal how the ancient environment within Gale Crater dried up over time. Similar changes are seen across the planet, and studying this Region up close (---> da vicino) has been a major long-term goal for the mission.
"The rocks here will begin to tell us how this once-wet planet changed into the dry Mars of today, and how long habitable environments persisted even after that happened, said Abigail Fraeman, Curiositys deputy project scientist, at NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California".
The "Dry Mars of today"... Mmmmmhhhhh.... Are we really sure about that?!? I am not. And You?!?MareKromium

SOL3049-Mont_Mercou-2-pia24266-comboadjust-350.gifMont Mercou - Sol 3049 (GIF - Movie)131 visite"NASAs Curiosity Mars rover used its Mastcam instrument to take the 32 individual images that make up this panorama of the outcrop nicknamed Mont Mercou. It took a second panorama, rolling sideways 13 feet (4 meters), to create a stereoscopic effect similar to a 3D viewfinder. The effect helps scientists get a better idea of the geometry of Mount Mercous sedimentary layers, as if theyre standing in front of the formation.
Both panoramas were taken on March 4, 2021, the 3,049th Martian day, or sol, of the mission, from a distance of about 130 feet (40 meters) from the cliff face, which is about 20 feet (6 meters) tall. They have been white-balanced so that the colors of the rock materials resemble how they would appear under daytime lighting conditions on Earth".MareKromium
