Ma non dite che non ci assomiglia in maniera quasi perfetta. E comunque, a parere di chi scrive, su Marte, Superficie e Sub-Superficie e, a maggior ragione, ancora piů in profonditŕ, c'č Vita. Vita Animale. Vita Animale che si muove, respira, agisce, si nutre, pensa e fa quello che fa, in accordo a Leggi e Schemi Biologici che noi, poveri "terricoli", semplicemente non comprendiamo. E che di conseguenza, non comprendendo, nella nostra arroganza senza fine, rifiutiamo a priori. Pensateci sopra....MareKromium

SOL3724-27338_PIA25740-web.jpgIcy Feather - Sol 3724140 visiteNASA’s Curiosity Mars rover captured this feather-shaped iridescent cloud just after sunset on Jan. 27, 2023, the 3,724th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Studying the colors in iridescent clouds tells scientists something about particle size within the clouds and how they grow over time.
These clouds were captured as part of a follow-on imaging campaign to study noctilucent, or "night-shining" clouds, which started in 2021. While most Martian clouds hover no more than 37 miles (60 kilometers) above the ground and are composed of water ice, these clouds appear to be higher in elevation, where it’s very cold. That suggests these clouds are made of carbon dioxide, or dry ice.
This scene is made up of 28 individual images captured by the rover’s Mast Camera, or Mastcam. The images have been processed to emphasize the highlights.MareKromium

SOL0738-1581_PIA25821-web.gif146 visiteNASA’s Perseverance Mars rover used one of its navigation cameras to take a series of images of drifting clouds just before sunrise on March 18, 2023, the 738th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.
Scientists on both the Perseverance mission and NASA's Curiosity rover mission are studying the formation process of Martian clouds.
A key objective for Perseverance's mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet's geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith (broken rock and dust).
Subsequent NASA missions, in cooperation with ESA (European Space Agency), would send spacecraft to Mars to collect these sealed samples from the surface and return them to Earth for in-depth analysis.
The Mars 2020 Perseverance mission is part of NASA's Moon to Mars exploration approach, which includes Artemis missions to the Moon that will help prepare for human exploration of the Red Planet.MareKromium

SOL3730-27337_PIA25739-web.jpgMartian Twilight - Sol 3730140 visiteNASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover captured these "Sun Rays" shining through clouds at sunset on Feb. 2, 2023, the 3,730th Martian Day, or Sol, of the mission. It was the first time that sun rays, also known as crepuscular rays, have been viewed so clearly on Mars. Crepuscular is taken from the Latin word for “Twilight,” as these rays appear near Sunset or Sunrise.
These clouds were captured as part of a follow-on imaging campaign to study noctilucent, or "night-shining" clouds, which started in 2021. While most Martian clouds hover no more than 37 miles (60 kilometers) above the ground and are composed of water-ice, these clouds appear to be higher in elevation, where it’s very cold.

SOL3466-mars_nasa_gov_msl-raw-images_msss_03466_mcam_3466MR1019650291602657C00_DXXX-5.jpgInteresting, but this is NOT a "Door"! (Credits: NASA/JPL and Lorenzo Leone for the add. process.)148 visiteI commenti a seguire. Siamo davanti ad un rilievo superficiale "curioso". Un Grande Complimento a Lorenzo Leone per l'elaborazione ulteriore. Un'unica nota: se "porta" fosse, č "cieca". Come una strada senza via di uscita/sbocchi. Il "soffitto" si abbassa e chiude, quasi subito. Almeno apparentemente. La "macchia" sul fondo "sembra" umiditŕ. Ma questa asserzione č azzardata. Parola a Voi! E Grazie ancora a Lorenzo Leone!MareKromium
