ESP_022612_1855_RED_abrowse-PCF-LXTT.jpgFeatures of Elysium Planitia (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)134 visiteQuattro interessanti (ma per nulla "misteriose, come invece "suggerisce" la NASA...) Surface Features individuate sulla Pianura di Elysium dalla Sonda MRO.

Da Sx a Dx:

1) modesto Windstreak con evidente bruciatura del suolo dovuta, molto probabilmente, ad un recente "impatto esplosivo" (si tratta di un bolide che in parte arriva ad impattare il suolo ed in parte si consuma, disintegrandosi - in maniera esplosiva, appunto -, nelle immediate prossimità del suolo);
2) probabile fase iniziale nella formazione di un pozzo da collasso;
3) altro modesto Windstreak con evidente bruciatura del suolo (idem come al punto 1 che precede); la curiosità è che questo secondo (e pure recente) "impatto esplosivo" si è verificato circa ad ore 6, in prossimità del margine (Rim) di un pre-esistente cratere ormai sepolto (Buried Crater) oppure - più probabilmente - all'interno di un'area che pure sta iniziando a collassare e che, nei secoli (o millenni), creerà un Collapse Pit - di cui la Pianura di Elysium è piena);
4) modestissimo, in termini di profondità, "pozzo veriticale da collasso", o Skylight.

PSP_008710_1710_red-PCF-LXTT.jpgLava Flows in Tharsis Region (Enhanced Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)214 visiteThis image shows a relatively dark Lava Flow on the Tharsis Volcanic Plains, East of Arsia Mons.

The entire Region is composed of a thick stack of volcanic flows. The Lava Flow in the Northern part of the image (Sx) is distinctly darker than its surroundings, which are buried under a layer of dust.
Most of the image has a fluffy, blurry texture. This is the mantle of dust or volcanic ash that commonly coats Volcanic Regions on Mars. The Dark Flow is buried by this material along its South-Eastern boundary; it appears that the mantle is being stripped off of the flow surface. Perhaps this flow is somewhat smooth at a fine scale and traps relatively little dust.

This flow is probably young. The Western Edge of the "Dark Region" does appear to be the edge of the Lava flow, indicating that this flow is relatively high-standing. This could make it more exposed to the wind and allow the mantle to be stripped.
