New Mars Forums

I have been reading the post about going to Venus. My question is Why? If I understand it right the sun is only going to get hotter and hotter. I thing we should be heading out.

I have been blessed to know about all of the great Mars image men on the net. One of the best at mega-scale cropping, blowing up and enhancement without prejudice is Dana Johnson.

Below is what I believe to be the highest resolution single image of the area for Phoenix to land. Interesting terrain indeed minus the frost or snow in the low topo areas. Just some patchy frost or frozen subsurface eruption areas, a few boulders.

Link to Dana’s site, strap in if you go there, lots of intense images

cIclops,

I think we were getting into color again on the other thread. Since I do not believe any true color images of Mars exist then all images would be in false color, some just closer to the human eye spectrum.

In regard to the gully image location of the whitish blue area is very important. It is giving us a different characteristic. If it were surface material then what is the chances of it being different from the other surface material only in the gully.

Interpretation is not just color rendering but also location and pattern. I would take a grayscale if there was one floating around

That is why you always need a good photo man on any forum. A gray scale crop or old fashion black and white would take a lot of the questions out from that image.

Nice images guys, are they true color? Just kidding.

I was wondering about the amount of gravity on an object like that. Anybody know?

Vincent

Yep, that cartoon is a hoot. Lets cross our fingers the shoot opens before impact, lol.

Like a father in the waiting room. Good spot and good timing for sure.

Vincent

Maybe we can do L2L3L4L5L6L7L8

Damn, I just want some

Vincent

This is were I digress

This is were I get banned. If you want to talk to NASA and be the hero of the forum then all you got to do is say hey, we got some moron that thanks he knows some stuff.

Tell them to talk to Vincent. I am not a yes man. May we all learn

Mr. Vincent

Surly Mr. Squires would have noticed some surface changes with the MER images he released to the public.

All I got to say is yes, yes he would.

See nothing for Vincent, just a collector of data by many names.

Hi cIclops,

You just picked a scab. “Blue stuff,” has a blue hue due to the white balance being off in what is an RBG image IMHO. If it was, “just deposits,” then the deposits would need to be different in some characteristic to produce the different wave length in any particular spectrum, even IR or UV.

Photons are just photons.

Where is this water coming from you ask? From the ground, I say. Why or how you ask? I have no idea, I say.

If water was coming out we would surely catch it as long as we have been up there. I think we did.

Another Hort image of what I believe is an eruption in progress on a toasty Mars afternoon..

Vincent

Wow,

The MRO image of ice in the gullies has got me all jazzed up. Looks like a water Flood.

This image is from Oppy on the edge of Victoria Crater. Looks like ground water eruption. From Hortonheardawho.

This is a stereo or cross eyed 3D. You cross your eyes to a central focal point instead of wearing the funny glasses.
