APOLLO 14 AS 14-76-10347.jpgAS 14-76-10347 - Up-Sun (1)160 visiteEd ora una piccola serie di immagini relative a degli scatti in "contro-Sole" (up-Sun) effettuati dall'interno della Navicella madre. Le fotografie, in loro stesse, non ci dicono nulla di particolare relativamente alla Missione, ma sono comunque molto importanti per noi (e per Voi!) per capire quale sia l'effetto, in termini di riflessi - e di colore dei riflessi -, che i raggi del Sole fanno nei finestrini dell'astronave. Una vaga nota d'azzurro c'รจ, sicuramente. Ma fra questi riflessi e quelli che...

Valles_Marineris_with_Water_and_Vegetation.jpgThe Last Days of Mars: The Great Valles Marineris Region (Credits: Don Edwards and Paolo C. Fienga)132 visiteDear Friends of Lunar Explorer Italia and the Italian Planetary Foundation,
starting from yesterday, January, 13th, 2014, we have decided to submit to your careful attention and consideration, 5 (five) "Martian Fantasies" which, in our opinion, may give you an idea about how Mars could have looked like near the end of its "Life" (as we know it, of course). We imagined the existence of some residual Wet-Lands (for instance, a few Lakes with some small River nearby), and a little Vegetation, located just in their immediate proximities.
And then ... a boundless Desert. In other words, only a few "Oasis of Life", made of residual Waters and a minimal Local Vegetation, and both completely surrounded by the yellow and orange Sands of a Desert which, in a (we believe, relatively) short amount of time, would have covered the entire Planet, and turned it into what we can see today.
This "Computer-made Reconstruction" shows you a portion of the Great Valles Marineris Canyon System, when some Residual Waters and Vegetation were still inside and near (in the close proximities of) this extremely famous Martian Geological Feature.
Note: for a better understanding of what we have been trying to show you here, please consider that in the locations where the color of the Residual Waters tends towards the green and a very light blue, it means that said Residual Waters are already very shallow; on the other hand, the darker the color of the Residual Waters gets, then the greater is their actual depth.
Please, some feedback on your side will be deeply appreciated and, therefore, do not hesitate to write to us and let us know what you think of these "Fantasies" which we have decided to entitle "The Last Days of Mars".
Thanks and enjoy!

Titan-PIA16634-Fantasy.jpgOn the Surface of Titan...99 visiteCaption NASA:"This artist's concept envisions what Hydrocarbon Ice forming on a liquid Hydrocarbon Sea of Saturn's moon Titan might look like. A new model from scientists on NASA's Cassini mission suggests that clumps of Methane-and-Ethane-rich ice -- shown here as the lighter-colored clusters -- could float under some conditions".MareKromium
