Title: Mars - Once Upon a Time
Post by: zorgon on September 13, 2012, 09:31:30 AM
Mars - Once Upon a Time

Mars 4 billion years ago?
Mars as it was 4 billion years ago? A visualization of the entire planet. Made with the MOLA data. Made mainly with the digital elevation models of the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA).
These are visualizations of Mars in ancient, today's and future settings. Made with 3DEM data converter and Terragen versions 8.11, 8.44,  9.19, 9.34 and the new Terragen 2 software.

Color Coverage of Candidate Landing Site in Holden Crater

ESP_020812_1530 Future Exploration/Landing Sites. Click Image for full size

QuoteThe four candidate Mars Science Laboratory (Curiosity) landing sites have been completely covered by HiRISE, in stereo. However, the color coverage is only the center 20 percent of each full HiRISE observation.This observation was acquired in color only, to extend the color coverage.

The subimage shows an enhanced-color portion where some of the light-toned layered deposits are well-exposed beneath the dark windblown materials. The layers may have been deposited in ancient lakes. Catastrophic floods through this crater may have ripped apart and rearranged large blocks of the layered material.

Well go figure.  >:(  ow THIS would have been an interesting spot for Curiosity to check out but NO... NASA picked a boring flat piece of dirt with nothing bigger than a pebble  >:(

Hi Mike,
could you please show us where this formation is located within the HiRISE image.

Zip Monster

Hi Zip! Yep, I can do that but you'll need to strain your eyes some, zoom in, and presto! This area is literally littered with strange formations. Here's what you do:

Open the HiRISE site >  goto JP2 QUICKLOOK (IAS Viewer) > click on IRB (or RGB) color (non map projected). This will open the IAS Viewer. Now go 2/3rd of the way down left edge. You'll need to scour the area with full magnification less one.

Before you start scrolling down remember to change the settings in the 'Dynamic Range Adjustments' box to 'reset'. You would also need to crop and resize the image and then use the 'Unsharp mask' filter to sharpen the image. Goodies don't come easy, what?
