ESA's Mars Express has obtained images of the Cydonia region, site of the famous 'Face on Mars.' The High Resolution Stereo Camera photos include some of the most spectacular views of the Red Planet ever.

Seaerlas, I already know that story.  Privately I find very difficult that they be trees.  However it looks that one of the arguments of that the region is always coldness is not truth.

"...and why the authorities have decided to explain all of these away as "defrost patterns" or "dry ice" or other nondescript, boring items?"

Because no known vegetable would obtain to survive in the surface of Mars.

"The total pore space in the regolith has been estimated to be sufficient to contain ice equivalent to a global water layer 0.5 to 1.5 km deep."

1- And about formaldehyde?

If you consider formaldehyde as oxidized methane, then Mars is producing 2.5 million tonnes of methane a year," says Formisano.
Formaldehyde is far more unstable, surviving for just 7.5 hours...

Forgot to mention in my last post my surprise at how well lit the surface features are.  Considering how far Sol is from the Saturnian system and etc., I presume some of the lighting has to do with the reflective (?) or absorptive (?) qualities of the thick haze itself? 

--Cindy

I also surprise.

"How thick is the atmosphere? A person standing on Titan's surface in the daytime would experience a level of daylight equivalent to 1/1000 the daylight on Earth's surface. This comparison not only takes into account the thickness of the atmosphere, but also Titan's greater distance from the Sun. Still, light levels on Titan's surface are 350 times brighter than moonlight on Earth under a full moon." http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/science/tita … sphere.cfm

#11 Re: Terraformation » Terraforming the Moon - Your opinion, please » 2004-09-10 06:41:56

I think that be possible create an atmosphere basically of CO2 in the Moon.  By it be heavier, the CO2 will not escape so easy for the space.  At least we would have more homogeneous temperatures, minor radiation and perhaps liquid water in the surface.

#16 Re: Terraformation » Rapid Terraforming... - ...the most ambitious ideas? » 2003-07-14 13:16:56

Just out of curiousity, how much atmosphere Mars' gravity can effectively hold in without it leaking off into space?

The gravity is not problem. The problem is the solar wind.

Water 'flows' on Mars.

Dark streaks on crater and valley walls may indicate that brackish water currently flows across the surface of Mars.
