In this second Extra Detail Magnification, always obtained from a frame taken by NASA - Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on May, 19, 2010, we can see (in fact, really very well), the result of another minor Meteorite Impact (a recent one, that must have occurred - according to NASA - some time in between March 2008 and the early May 2010) which excavated a new and extremely small Crater (that is no more than approx. 15/20 meters in diameter - or, most likely, even less than that) on the Northern Plains of Mars. The Impact Event (which we, as IPF, believe that was a "Cold Impact") exposed and scattered a discrete amount of bright Water Ice that, quite obviously, was hiding just (and here, in this specific case, we are talking about an extremely low depth - perhaps 1 meter, or even less than that) under the Surface itself. Mars Local Time: 14:50 (Early Afternoon) This picture (which is a crop taken from a NASA - Original Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter b/w and NON-Map Projected frame identified by the serial n. ESP_017868_2440) has been additionally processed, magnified, contrast enhanced, Gamma corrected, and then colorized in Absolute Natural Colors (such as the colors that a human eye would actually perceive if someone were onboard the NASA - Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and then looked down, towards the Surface of Mars), by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically improved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team. |
