QA-VikingLS-2.jpgViking One: the Landing Site - First Color Picture (after a few days)103 visiteCaption originale:"A later color treatment typical of what appeared in many official and popular publications, tending more towards a so-called brick red".
Nota: ed ecco la "correzione di rotta". Se il Pubblico reagisce - come, di fatto, reagì - "istericamente" anche solo per una similitudine di colori, che cosa sarebbe accaduto se fossero state mostrate le (probabili) altre ed ulteriori analogie fra la nostra Terra e Marte? La risposta ad un quesito come questo deve darla la coscienza di ognuno di noi, ovviamente. Noi ci limitiamo a mostrarVi quello che fece la NASA: poche ore, ed ecco che la "Pubblica Ammenda" fu fatta e messa giù "a colori":"Sorry, abbiamo sbagliato noi! Marte è rosso/arancio/mattone ed il cielo...Il cielo non è blu. Non sappiamo com'è (!), ma sappiamo che NON è blu". Ecco cosa accadde e poi...Tutti tranquilli e felici.
Una nostra riflessione: se il Pubblico - in America, ma non solo - fosse meno isterico, forse (diciamo FORSE) una buona fetta di cover-up non sarebbe necessaria...

ZD-Z-VikingLander1-Rocks.2jpg.jpgThe surroundings of Viking 1 Lander (1)151 visiteCommenti originali:"These pictures show a knobby exposure of bedrock broken by vertical fractures. Some of the protuberances are so deeply eroded that they almost form detached boulders. Indeed, we believe that many of the boulders at this site form by this mechanism of "in situ" weathering. The area of bedrock is more clearly delineated. Horizontal rock surfaces have been swept clear of sediment. The fact that this rock weathers in a different fashion than the rocks displayed in other frames suggest a compositional difference between the two exposures of bedrock. However, both rock types are believed to be representative of volcanic lavas that inundated the entire region early in Martian history.
Finding bedrock at this landing site was a surprise. Among other things, it indicates that Martian geologic history is more complex than Lunar history. If a thick layer of ejected deposits once covered this region, it has been subsequently removed by wind, water, or maybe even ice in the form of glaciers".

ZD-Z-VikingLander1-Rocks.jpgThe surroundings of Viking 1 Lander (2)121 visiteCommenti originali:"Bedrock exposures are among the most provocative features at the Viking 1 landing site. Bedrock, of course, refers to a body of solid rock that underlies a layer of soil or unconsolidated sediment. On the Moon, bedrock is almost everywhere covered by a thick layer of impact debris. Only at the Apollo 15 site were astronauts Dave Scott and Jim Irwin able to chip off samples of bedrock from layers exposed in the wall of the Hadley Rille".

ZI-Viking2-Rocks.jpgHorizon (3)122 visiteCommenti originali:"The following frames are 2 views of the same area in front of the spacecraft looking toward the North to Northeast, both taken with camera 2 but at different times of day. Linear accumulations of fine grained sediment have planar surfaces that are sharply delineated by shadow and reflected light. The small pyramidal rock in the lower left is a good example of a ventifact, a rock with multiple facets eroded by the wind".

ZI-Viking2-BrightHorizon.jpgHorizon (1)142 visiteUna serie di frames panoramici ripresi dal Viking 2 Lander i quali, attraverso riprese effettuate in diverse ore del giorno ed usando diversi filtri/colore, ci mostrano i dintorni della Navicella (anzi, sarebbe forse più corretto dire i dintorni del 'minilaboratorio'). Prima viene inquadrato l'orizzonte più lontano, poi le rocce che circondano il Lander e che, da svariati punti di vista, ci ricordano le rocce che vediamo quotidianamente sulle Columbia Hills.
Commenti originali:"These pictures show horizon ridges photographed at 3 different times of the day. Predictably, change in illumination results in different reflections from the broad slopes. Only by reference to all the available pictures a viewer can gain a true impression of the complex detail in the distance".
