Spirit's Landing Site Awash in Green? INTERVIEW with ESA!!!
There's some VERY interesting replies to questions about the green
colors and more from an interview with ESA "Certainly like the green in the Gusev crater picture or by looking at the development of darker spots toward the South Pole which are tied to seasonal variations, it certainly gives rise to the speculation that there could be algae." * Michael McKay, European Space Agency Full article http://www.earthfiles.com/news/news....tegory=Science Too bad the beagle rover got lost, otherwise we'd be able to better compare differences between what NASA shows us and what ESA shows us. I can't wait for the ESA orbiter to become fully operational. James Burk wrote: ESA's Mars Express orbiter captured an image of Spirit's landing site about a week ago. The image shows the exact location of Spirit is awash in a shade of green. Don't believe me? Look at the image for yourself. http://sci.esa.int/science-e/www/obj...objectid=34531 The same area was acquired by Odyssey in this false color image: http://themis-data.asu.edu/img/V03415003_C321.html Don Davis is an independent space artist / researcher who has processed color images for Malin in the past. Here is his processing of the Gusev landing site into "true color" from Odyssey data http://www.donaldedavis.com/BIGPUB/DD_V03415003.jpg What are your comments on this? -- James Burk MarsNews.com |
