- Eclectic shapes in Elysium Planitia
June 6, 2010
Carl Sagan pointed out these polyhedral bedrock exposures in the flat alluvium via
a Mariner 9 image
in Cosmos (chapter 5).
The base of this one is shaped like a square with 5km side length
and the nearby actual "Sagan Pyramids" show equilateral triangles.
Maybe the high resolution of 28cm/pixel will solve the mystery of their creation process.
The classic geological explanation of eolian erosion processes by wind from mostly steady directions
is questionable.
The same image shows in the camera's color channels another mystery:
Bluegreen tinted crater floors. See news entry on March 18, 2002.
The image location was selected via the public target suggestion program

March 21, 2008
On March 19 2008 4:12 UTC the biggest ever Gamma-Ray Burst was detected.
By its after-glow in the visual light spectrum, this burst was
the most distant object in space ever visible by the naked human eye.
The absolute light intensity was 2.5 million times stronger than any supernova
before.
With a count of 4 Gamma-Ray Bursts that day, this was also by number
a maximum for the Swift satellite since it observation began in 2004.

- Cyanobacteria create spherule colonies May 29, 2007
Some Cyanobacteria on Earth live in colonies
of 1cm small gelatinous spherules.
The spherules of that genus (nostoc pruniforme) not only live on or in fresh or salt water,
but can also be seen on soil soon after rain.
Cyanobacteria are sometimes called blue-green algae because of their
usual dark blue-green color
and their macroscopic appearance like algae,
although they are no algaes (plants).
- Cave entrances or "Dark Matter"? May 28, 2007
Temperature data from early morning infrared images (THEMIS-IR)
indicate cave entrances,
where the new detail image in visible light (HIRISE)
shows
"barrier islands" on the northern rim of the lightabsorbing area.
That would mean, the black area was a flat surface.
All "Martian holes" have been discovered near the equator, so
the directly visible bright surface is no ice.
Update:
On August 9 2007, a 2nd image was
taken. This time during afternoon with lower Sun incidence angle. Now a cavern wall
is revealed which means it isn't a black surface at all. The diameter of the hole is about 150m
with a depth of at least 78m.
- Some possible causes for these white soil deposits:
Evaporating salt water, Silica (Silicon salts), Biofilm.

The current doctrine about Martian slope streaks being the result
of dry dust avalances isn't verified yet be experiments.
Hence the observation of visual correlation of Martian and Antarctic slope
streaks presented
in this paper from Brown University
leads to a more realistic approach to that topic.

- Launch of Phoenix Lander today at 5:26 a.m. EDT August 4, 2007
The northern polar region was chosen as landing site near
67.5°N 240°E to make chemical and microscopic soil analysis.
Some of the
on-board scientific instruments are a mass spectrometer,
an optical microscope and a special type of electric microscope.
The landing is scheduled for May 25, 2008.
- Geodetic Nasca Lines? April 14, 2006
- Challenge to all researchers having influence on controlling the Mars-Rovers' cameras!
March 26, 2006
Find out if this white soil
in the wheel tracks builds up within seconds or minutes after driving.
Maybe it is salt crystallizing as soon the moisture evaporates from the plowed soil or for lower
temperatures, as soon as the water ice sublimates.

NASA overlooked something important.
A tricky job. Shortly after the NASA "summercamp" a few participants visit the place,
where the space agency had hidden the test rover. They were curious, how well it
performed. As they determined, the rover had driven around the California
desert - nearby of several pieces of petrified wood.
But nobody in the control center recognized these on the views through the rover
camera. The researchers got frustrated.
[ GEO, 05/2003, "Mission Mars", p.56] |
The summercamp which is mentioned here by an employee of
a NASA contract company to the GEO author is the

- Magnetic field of Mars satellite as strong as Earth's
December 12, 2002
Moscow, December 6, 13:35 GMT, (Itar-Tass)
Russian scientists have come to the conclusion that Phobos, a tiny satellite of Mars,
has a magnetic field as powerful as Earth.
The director of Moscow's Institute of Magnetism and Radio Wave
Propagation, Viktor Orayevsky, told Itar-Tass on Friday that a mishap
helped the discovery. The Soviet Union's probe Phobos-2 reached Mars
in March 1989, entered the orbit of Phobos and carried out for four
days measurements under a plan of the mission control center. However,
control of the probe was lost before the beginning of a main research
program, and telemetric returns from it ended up in the center's
archives as useless. It was 13 years later that scientists of the
Institute of Magnetism examined the discarded data and found out the
magnetic field of Phobos, which in only 22 kilometers in diameter, is
as strong as Earth's.
According to the scientists, this suggets more than one-third of the
satellite is made up of a magnetic substance, and in this sense it is
unique in the solar system.

My comment on the "real IR image" story:
As you may have read my name in the latest article on
The Enterprisemission (TEM), you might be interested in my
evaluation on the topic. As I wrote shortly after release of TEM's article "A Tale Of Two Cities",
on several discussion forums, the socalled "real IR image" was, in my estimation, a sophisticated hoax created
by some still unknown 3rd party, to discredit TEM and all other further research on the possibility
of subsurface ruins on Mars.

NASA cancels press conference on discovery of frozen oceans without any explanation!

Evidence of frozen oceans confirms alternative theories on Mars
May 30, 2002
Gilbert Levin already showed 25 years ago via the data from
the Viking Mission, that there is not only a sufficient amount of water in the upper soil layer, but
also at least bacteria or algae live there.
Richard Hoagland presented before this new NASA release
a theory about Mars as a former moon of the 5th Planet, which disintegrated into todays Asteroid Belt.
Mars was tidal locked in orbit of this planet, like the Moon to Earth, which deformed Mars and caused
higher water concentrations at two antipodal regions at the equator. These two regions were now confirmed
by 2001 Mars Odyssey.
The politic important issue on this new official NASA release is the now simplified and largely cost reduced
manned mission to Mars, as oxygen and hydrogen are now abundant resources on location for life-support of the
expedition crew and fuel for the return flight.
A press conference on this discovery will be shown live on the Internet
via NASA-TV on Thursday May 30, 16:00 GMT.

Clear indication for chlorophyll in dark spots on Martian surface
March 18, 2002
Chlorophyll mainly absorbes red light and only relativly small amounts of blue light, which causes
lifeforms containing chlorophyll to appear as black spots in red-filtered images where in blue-filtered
ones of the same area, the objects are almost not distingishable from the soil.
This effect was discovered by Rex G. Carnes
on this MGS picture,
when he tested his new patented device to detect camouflaged military gear from plants via a spectroscopic
method on satellite images.
The discovery confirms
observation results published in September 2000
by Dr. Serguei M. Pershi, who wrote, he detected chlorophyll by analyzing color picture taken by
the Hubble space telescope.
Scientists at ESA say, these spots warrant a close lock
Picture of the same area, taken byViking 1 in 1978.
West of the MGS-picture, you can see larger darkbluegreen spots inside craters.
new Update:
If these spots consists of lifeforms, they are most probably
Cyanobacteria (Blue-Green Algae), which use chlorophyll like plants and contaminate their environment
with toxic compounds, so that other bacteria are killed in their area.
This symptom is visible, as the area around the bluegreen spots is very bright
relative to the darker surrounding soil.
Maybe the reason for the dark seeps on slopes are also cyanobacteria as
it is on Earth:

Bi-modal distribution of key features due to ancient tidal stress?
This paper is about the model of Mars as a former moon of the exploded planet
in the orbit of todays asteroid-belt. Most prominent hints for this,
are the antipodal bulges on Mars, caused by tidal forces. In these bulges,
water is present today, which causes black seeps when flowing on the surface.
These black spots are made of iron
sulphite, which is produced by the huge abundance of sulphur on the surface.
After some time, the spots bleach out, they are are oxidized to iron sulphate.
