North_Polar_Features-Polar_Cone-MGS-00.jpgNorth Polar "Cone" (Original NASA/MGS/MSSS b/w Frame)58 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows a cone-shaped hill, perhaps a remnant of a material that was once more laterally extensive across the area, on a textured plain in the Hyperboreus Labyrinthus Region in the North Polar Region of Mars.
The hill and its surroundings are covered with a blanket of solid CO2 which imparts a roughly homogeneous-tone to the scene.
Despite its shape, the feature is not a volcano; over the past 9 years, the MGS-MOC investigation has found no unambiguous evidence for volcanic landforms in the North Polar Region".
Location near: 79,5° North; 57,0° West

Volcanic_Features-Collapse_Pit_Chain-Tharsis_Tolus-MGS.JPGCollapse Pit-Chain near Tharsis Tholus (Original NASA/MGS/MSSS b/w Frame)65 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC mage shows a portion of a Chain of Collapse Pits on a Lava and Dust-covered Plain, North/West of Tharsis Tholus —one of the many volcanic constructs in the Tharsis Region of Mars.
Pit chains, such as this one, are associated with the collapse of surface materials into subsurface voids formed by faulting and expansion — or extension — of the bedrock".
Location near: 16,4° North Lat. and 92,6° West Long.

Controversial_Features-The_Villa-AB108405-SF-04.jpgUnusual Squared Structure on Mars (5)113 visite"...The deltaic dispersal at the base of the cliff face as well as the fluid's entire path from the conduit can be seen in this larger image, below. The four blue arcs coming from the pipe edge represent four separate flow rates and correspond to the 3 large gouges and 1 smaller gouge eroded away in that ledge beneath the pipe outflow. Note that the fluid streaming from the end of the pipe can be clearly seen as well as the fluids cascading down the lower cliff face and the deltaic dispersal of these fluids forming lobate "tongues". The dispersal of the fluids at the base of cliff clearly shows the change of albedo of the topography to a much lighter tone and the dispersal pattern due to the wet reflectance of the soils there.
NASA's satellite Mars Odyssey recently arrived at Mars with one of its primary objectives being -- finding water!. Perhaps they need to only ask those who are already there...".

South_Polar_Features-Crater_with_Ice-A-M1000628-01.jpgSouth Polar Crater with residual Ice (EDM)66 visite...urtano vigorosamente con i "dati ufficiali" sul Pianeta Rosso così come forniti dalla NASA.
Tutto ciò premesso, la domanda di chiusura è facile (e la conoscete anche Voi): che cosa stiamo guardando?

Utopia_Planitia-Smoke-D-M0202863-PCF-LXTT.jpgControversial Surface Feature in Utopia Planitia (EDM n.2)129 visiteUn irrequieto camino vulcanico si nasconde al di sotto di questo cratere e sta dando chiari segnali di risveglio? Oppure si tratta di fumi esausti che arrivano da un'installazione sotterranea?
O magari è un'illusione ottica e quello che appare come uno sbuffo di fumo nero è solo un dark wind-streak, come ne abbiamo già visti tanti su Marte e Venere?
Domande, domande, domande...
