I don’t see any that are clean but some appear smooth near-by.

This area has a lot of active weather and as Spring arrives high winds would blow. It you notice there are no large dunes and no micro-dunes this would mean that the dust is re-incorporated into the surface.

One would be the weight of or protection from the CO2 snow. The elevation readings from the satellites  suggest up to three feet in mid winter.

Another contributor would be wicking or water ice melt in mid summer that would dampen the surface material and no allow saltation necessary for dune development.

I would say both are involved. The possible vent was noted due to dark material spray lying on the ground in the sun. This makes me say vent vs. shadow. The positioning is at the edge of a polygon and is located were a vent would be, that’s why I made the call.

This is the fun part

What do we see? Plenty of polygons for sure.

Area I- Rock with cup. The geologist on NASA TV said this is from water action as he held a rock from Antarctica. Don’t ask me why.

Area II very intriguing. Possible vent with dark matter ejection on surface, several areas of dark matter visible with obvious reincorporation of surface material.

Zydar,

The water is indeed underground with occasional eruptions on the surface that are transient.

Vincent

For those that like their images a little sharper, a little more realistic just add some visene.

Vincent

Dudes,

Life is based on earth Knowledge. Now when I was in college we learned abbot the DNA helix. I think they have seen that with sugars in the vacuum of space, get me a bucket

If you think I is just a drunk just ask.

Naw, lets do some science. Otherwise cIclopes will think I is a chump.

Nutty rant 1247-14d

I added the word nutty because some folks think they are

Now I will post a bound hydrogen map of Mars What bonds with hydrogen?  Oxygen.

That would be water boys. If you look at the phoenix site you will see it is a sweat spot. I will post that to

Now the rant, It will be a good one. Scientist chime in at any time. I always wanted to say that.

Now planetary formation is dependent on temperature in regard to coagulation.

Fist Metal, second rock and third Ice

Time is an opportunistic phase in each realm that developed the terrestrial planets Venus, Earth and Mars.

The Gas Giants Jupiter and Saturn and you heard it here first, then the Ice giants Uranus and Neptune. Thy are ice brother

When the solar system formed you had to get out past Mars for it to be cool enough for water to form. The gravitational flux between Jupiter and Saturn sent the Ice laden Asteroids to the Terrestrial planets to supply water. 3.9 million years ago. The great bombardment they call it.

That is the basics. If you guys want to go deeper, chime in

Zydar,

I see no evidence of alien structures on this image, frozen brine lake maybe. The white band at the base of the feature is water snow that has fallen and the winds has blown it to the southern edge.

The chain on the right side does look peculiar but could be explained by  a hybrid geyser.

Sorry brother, keep looking

Vincent

While Zydar is out looking for some good conclusive images of intelligent life I suppose we could put up some areas we would think the MRO team would look at. Trust me if the Face had not turned out to be a butte we would never have seen it.

Under the grumpy old man banner I say, “Show us the stuff.”

I will post one image at a time and you boys can comment if you like.

P.S. There are no wrong answers because we have no idea.

The first image looks like a lake. Could be. Could be a low topo area covered in CO2 ice. Wait, that stuff is suppose to be transparent, oh well.

The one million dollar question? Why no look?

Vincent

You guys missed my point.

If we got an imager that can resolve down to 3 ft, lets give it a look. My point is why no look? This is one of the most intriguing images from Mars. How many more buttes and dunes we need to see.

Today is image release day from MRO. No one will be in a hurry to look because it will be a false color image of dunes and buttes. Show us the stuff brother.

What is in that image? I have no idea and neither do you.

Vincent

Well, lets give us an out. There are guys that can interpret the data. Hort will give us images and Levin’s is foaming at the mouth.

Now how long we got?

Vincent

Without water, we can not have a rainbow.
