Discovered on Mars:Toltec Face

[The Seeker]

Flux, in that last random pic slightly above dead center is what looks like a bowling pin or a bottle of some sort...

Hah! Cool

The object is laying on it's side and is covered by a couple of patches of sand.

Not good at putting Yourself into Others' shoes, eh?

Yes, how can I pretend to know what other people think and feel?

I grew up on the beaches of San Diego, and lived in the desert sands of Las Vegas for nearly a decade.  Does that count?

Yes, that's the kind of information I wanted to know. Apparently, we have different understandings of how sand behaves.

Yup.  I think one of the reasons for the odd shadows in this one has to do with the time intervals between the shots; look at the sky and you can see stitch lines and a lot of variation in the clouds...different times, different days, we need a different NASA...

This photo shows larger type sand grains close to the camera and then there are a lot finer sand gains further back so I gather the rocks up front have stopped the 'flow' of the larger grains traveling back? Flow meaning 'winds' affecting the sand.

That looks like a Viking panorama, I will look for the original images.

Regarding the discussion of some odd ball stuff in the original Nasa photo I grabbed another random image to run by the members on here. In this image there are some stones in the top of the photo and a bit in from the left with odd shadows. The other odd bit is the gray flat looking rock right side above half way up the photo. Sorry can't mark it at work at the moment. Possible other parts of the photo have some odd bits but don't have time at the moment to go over it.

This one looks like a Curiosity panorama, but I'm not sure, do you have an image ID?

I was looking over those random images, Flux, and I say the second one is shopped.  Something was covered up, like the sand image.  There is something metallic that was not covered in the circle I show below:



The yellow line denotes where a piece of one image was used to cover part of another.

I just googled the images and grabbed the ones that best suited the discussion. No data/image ID on them.

Hmmm... didn't give that a thought about time intervals. With these photos they are not so wide as the very first image I posted with the statue in it so I was thinking it was a single photo?

[ArMaP]

I have two things to say about the photos posted by Flux:
1 - I was wrong about both photos, they are from Mars Pathfinder, a mission I always forget. 
2 - This time Amaterasu is right, that image was altered. 

One interesting thing is that I cannot find the altered image, only the original (for the upper part), so knowing where Flux got that image would be nice, so we can see who is altering photos.

I Googled 'Mars landscapes' under images and had to scroll through a lot of pages then clicked the image, from there it gives you the larger version of the image so I just right clicked and grab it from there. Didn't visit the site website or take note of it at the time.

I did come across the upper photo while searching so once you know what your looking for you can pick it but I can't find an image for the lower section?

So what about the other photo for tampering?

I am going to have this enlarged to billboard size and give it to Amy.
Wow, this a first to see. At least you were man enough to put it in print.
A golden bar for you. 299 to 300

I always do that, if I knew that something was wrong and didn't tell other people then I would be making things worse, as I would be helping a wrong idea to be spread instead of the truth.

A golden bar for you. 299 to 300

Thanks.

Thank You, ArMaP and Deuem.  [smile]
