New Mars Forums

I found a very interesting program, Stereomorpher:

EDIT: WRONG LINK!
This is the right one:

It allows creating images like this, starting from common stereo pairs:

Using Mars images, we could obtain astonishing images! Any volunteers? Using this program is quite difficult...

What could happen if it will be discovered that some of these little spherules are made of precious minerals?...

It looks like we don't have just rusty terrain on Mars... :9

Ok, here we are: this is an image (80 KB) representing my theories about the outcrop origin.

There are 5 horizontal sequences of happenings:
Which one do you think is more probable?
Why?

Luca

This is the reason I didn't post my theory here for... To avoid silly replies 

Anyway, I can't see any "big fat worm" in your photo, just like I can't see plants, animals, stairs and similar things on NASA photos, like a lot people is doing in other fourms... (I'll post you the link, if I find it again; I didn't boomark it...)

I read several times on NASA site that micorscope's closeups give out images 3x3 mm wide (1 inch = 2.54 cm = 25.4 mm , so 3 mm = 0.12 inch)

Luca

Each time I look at the outcrop Opportunity is looking at, I ask myself: what evidence of a past life (even civilzed form) could remain on a planet with atmosphere, after about 1 or 2 million (billion?) years later?
Maybe no direct evidence of lifeforms, but... what would it look like a modern cement building on the  earth, after 2 million of years?
Just like... this?

The closer you get, the stranger it gets...

Very unusual natural formations, IMHO.

Maybe this is the right place to post this question: this is the only serious&scientific mars forum I was able to find. I found another one, where poeple says they can see stairs, bricks, faces, plants and animals in spirit/opportunity photos...

What i THINK to see is strange, but not SO strange!

Look at this image:

(You can see an enlarged version [http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/ … 50R2M1.JPG]here)

What I THINK I see is a strange "artifact": do you see that strange "90 degree rock" on the right? Doesn't it look like a rock eroded by repeated dragging of something heavy over it?
Maybe it could be erosion due to water or lava, but it is really strange.

Then look at the left part of the image: you can see something similar to "tracks", similar to those one left by ancient Roman wooden wheels over ancient Roman "streets" made with flat rocks.
I don't mean Romans went to Mars before us , I am just saying they are quite strange formations.

Any idea?

Luca

(Too big image deleted; see next post to see what I am referring to)

This image looks quite strange to me(sorry, but how can I just link an image without displaying it?): in the center of the image you can see some "regular" features, some rocks which looks like if they have been "consumed" , or "eroded" by something: how could you else explain those strange 90? angles in the rock? It looks like something was dragged for more and more times over the same part of the rock, until it was consumed.

Could it have been done by volcanic activity? Maybe it is just water erosion?

Does anybody know where to find a closeup of the features I'm referring to?
