No. It doesnt really interest me. I just thought these looked good and theres a couple there that will set hearts racing over at OM

[KIWI]

isnt a bout time some privateer's had a crack at mars?.....Gates threw 250 million at the anti-smoking dorks last year, him and Buffet could probably do it on their own

[Chorlton]

Maybe NASA will take some notice from Obamas report and go to Mars instead of the Moon.
Theyll find bugger all, but it will be interesting

[KIWI]

Id prefer to see the "bugger-all" on the moon first, did you hear Velikovskys explanation for the craters?....bubbles, molten bubbles.....the glass domes?....anyway , once Ive ridden the mono-rail round the far-side, I would love to move on to Mars and see the "bugger-all" there :alien:

[mojo]

awesome pics.

this is interesting, i'd like to find out more about what they think might have occured, asteroid impact or super volcanic eruption i would guess.

Nasa photographs 'trees' on Mars (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/6979855/Nasa-photographs-trees-on-Mars.html)

The images appear to show rows of dark "conifers" sprouting from dunes and hills on the planet surface. But the scene is actually an optical illusion.
The photographs actually show sand dunes coated with a thin layer of frozen carbon dioxide, or dry ice, less than 240 miles from the planet's north pole.

The "trees" are really trails of debris caused by landslides as ice melts in Mars's spring. You can even see a cloud of dust, just to the left of centre of the picture, where an avalanche is caught happening. The photograph was taken from orbit around Mars by HiRISE, the most powerful camera sent to another planet. NASA's Candy Hansen told The Sun: "The streaks are sand, dislodged as ice evaporates, which slide down the dune. At this time of the Martian year the whole scene is covered by CO2 frost."
Last month Nasa announced a new telescope had detected five planets outside the solar system. The observatory, which was launched last year to find other Earths, made the discoveries in its first few weeks of science operations. Although the new worlds, called exoplanets, are all bigger than Neptune, Nasa said their discovery showed that the planet hunting telescope was working well.

In a public statement (http://sites.google.com/site/lauramagdalene/home/2012-and-the-ancient-game), Laura Magdalene Eisenhower (http://cosmicgaia2012.com/about.html#2), great-granddaughter of former President Dwight David Eisenhower (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight_D._Eisenhower) (1890-1969), has exposed her attempted recruitment from April 2006 through January 2007 by a secret Mars colony project.

Ms. Eisenhower’s account of her targeting by time travel surveillance and attempted manipulation by trained intelligence agents attached to a Mars colony project were revealed in an ExopoliticsRadio.org interview (http://exopolitics.blogs.com/exopolitics_radio/2010/02/exopolitics-radio-2012-and-the-ancient-game-recruitment-to-mars-and-sophiamagdalenevenus-by-laura-ma.html), and in an extensive written statement (http://sites.google.com/site/lauramagdalene/home/2012-and-the-ancient-game) at Ms. Eisenhower’s website.

My science and business background wasn’t extensive, but as a quick multidimensional learner, I could immediately spot key alliances and best of breed technologies. I had made links to significantly wealthy people for my various ventures, but I continuously questioned why the heck with all their connections would they want me involved. Well, Agent X recognized my leadership and visionary skills, and wanted funds coming through his intimate allies, in order for him to achieve some equal footing with his senior advisors.

He assembled a core team headed by chief scientist Dr Harold E. (Hal) Puthoff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Puthoff), the well-documented scientist of zero point field physics, HAARP, remote viewing and mind control technologies, who was educated at Stanford and sponsored by the CIA, various government agencies and private corporate interests. Agent X proposed a board of directors involving the most renowned futurists, astronauts and space entrepreneurs, who were all affiliated or already working with his circle. He also was conversing with a state senator and suggesting that the Air Force could be shuffling tens of thousands for this project. Under high confidentiality, I would receive many project emails and occasional phone updates about team meetings and business plans. They discussed the rush toward commercialization and privatization, the Space Race with other major nations and the Disclosure playbook involving many secret societies.

ZOMG! IS "AGENT X" THE SAME PERSON AS "SOURCE A"!?!?!?

[GeneralStriker]

Good to see a light has gone on. This has been continually proposed by the researchers of the Serpo meme. 'Source A' is thought to be the same as the original 'gang of five' identified by Steve Broadbent and Shawnna Connolly as the men behind Serpo . They include Puthoff, Green, Doty, Pandolfi and Smith. The soap opera continues; for what purpose is a matter of great speculation among close observers of the phenomenon.

Mars Express heading for closest flyby of Phobos (http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEML9Q6K56G_index_0.html)

ESA’s Mars Express will skim the surface of Mars’ largest moon Phobos this evening. Passing by at an altitude of 67 km, precise radio tracking will allow researchers to peer inside the mysterious moon. Closest approach is at 21:55 CET. Live updates on the Mars Express blog (http://webservices.esa.int/blog/blog/7).

The camera, HRSC, will be used on the 7 March flyby, when Mars Express passes over the daylight side of Phobos at an altitude of 107 km, and will continue to be used during all the subsequent flybys, obtaining high-resolution images of the moon’s surface. The other instruments will also get their chance to work. ASPERA is already studying the way charged particles from the Sun interact with the surface of Phobos. SPICAM, PFS, OMEGA are characterising the surface of the moon, with PFS also aiming to measure the temperature of Phobos’ day and night sides. HRSC will pay particular attention to the proposed landing site for the Russian Phobos-Grunt mission, which is expected to launch in 2011/12.

Martian moon's secrets to be revealed during fly-bys (http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18621-martian-moons-secrets-to-be-revealed-during-flybys.html?DCMP=OTC-rss&nsref=space)

The deepest secrets of Mars's moon Phobos are set to be revealed, following a series of 12 fly-bys by Europe's Mars Express spacecraft. Six have been completed, including the closest ever pass of the moon, at 67 km, last week.

The flights will probe the moon's gravity better than ever before, revealing the distribution of material throughout its body. The MARSIS radar will also search for underground structures in the rubbly moon, which is probably riddled with caverns.

The gravity data will help Russia's Phobos-Grunt mission, set to launch in 2011 or 2012, manoeuvre efficiently around the moon before coming in for a landing.

New portraits of Phobos are also on the way. "Until now, the encounters have been on the [moon's] nightside," says ESA's project scientist Olivier Witasse. "This week we switch to flying by the daylight side, allowing the camera and spectrometers to begin working." That will give the moon's composition, testing the idea that Phobos formed from rocks that somehow found themselves orbiting the planetMovie Camera. (http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20527451.100-destination-phobos-humanitys-next-giant-leap.html)

Unfortunately, a 90-metre-high rocky outcrop called the 'monolith' is not visible to Mars Express during this series of fly-bys. The monolith could be a piece of Phobos's interior thrown to the surface during the formation of a crater. It was first spotted in 1999, on images taken by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor probe.

Could Phobos be hollow? (http://www.universetoday.com/2010/03/05/could-phobos-be-hollow/)

http://www.esa.int/images/Image5_422-20081013-0000-6-mos-01-PhobosSeries_L.jpg

Back in the 1950s and 1960s, there was some speculation that Mars' moon Phobos could possibly be hollow due to the its unusual orbital characteristics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phobos_%28moon%29#.22Hollow_Phobos.22_suggestions) . While scientists now agree that the moon is very likely not hollow, vast caverns may exist within the moon, and it might be a porous body instead of solid. The Mars Express spacecraft made a close flyby of Phobos on Wednesday to help provide more data on the interior of Phobos, and all indications are the event was a big success. The spacecraft skimmed smoothly over the odd-shaped moon at just 67 km, the closest any manmade object has ever been. No images were taken from this flyby. Instead all the instruments were turned off so that ground stations could listen for a pure radio signal of how Phobos "tugged" on the spacecraft. Scientists say the data collected could help unlock the origin of Phobos and other ‘second generation’ moons.

“Phobos is probably a second-generation Solar System object,” said Martin Pätzold, Universitat Koln, Cologne, Germany, and Principal Investigator of the Mars Radio Science (MaRS) experiment. Second generation means that it coalesced in orbit after Mars formed, rather than forming at the same time out of the same birth cloud as the Red Planet. There are other moons around other planets where this is thought to have been the case too, such as Amalthea around Jupiter.

Previous flybys of Phobos have shown that it is not dense enough to be solid all the way through. Instead, it must be 25-35% porous. This has led planetary scientists to believe that it is little more than a ‘rubble pile’ circling Mars. Such a rubble pile would be composed of blocks both large and small resting together, with possibly large spaces between them where they do not fit easily together.

The March 3rd flyby was close enough to give scientists the best data yet about the gravitational field of Phobos.

The radio waves travel at the speed of light and took 6 minutes 34 seconds to travel from Earth to the spacecraft on Wednesday night, and by analyzing the data on Phobos' gravity field, scientists should be able to estimate of the density variation across the moon and detect just how much of Phobos’ interior is likely to be composed of voids.

This flyby was just one of a campaign of 12 Mars Express flybys taking place in February and March 2010. For the previous two, the radar was working, attempting to probe beneath the surface of the moon, looking for reflections from structures inside. In the coming flybys, the Mars Express camera will take over, providing high resolution pictures of the moon’s surface.

As to what the overall lunar lines are...it's anyones' guess. It be interesting to land something in the lines/grooves and get some pics. Of all the lunar objects in our solar system, this has to be the most bizarre.

Mars as you've never seen it before: The colossal ice walls that show another side of the Red Planet (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1259813/Mars-Ice-walls-Red-Planet.html)

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/03/22/article-1259813-08D2EFD7000005DC-868_964x871.jpg

It looks like a filmmaker's apocalyptic vision of Earth following a devastating natural disaster.

But this colossal ice formation is actually a portion of the wall terraces of a huge crater on Mars.

Approximately 37 miles in diameter, a section of the Mojave Crater in the planet's Xanthe Terra region has been digitally mapped by Nasa scientists.

The result is this digital terrain model that was generated from a stereo pair of images and offers a synthesized, oblique view of a 2.5-mile portion of the crater's wall terraces.

The sheer depth of the crater - about 1.6 miles - demonstrates that Mojave has experienced little infilling or erosion.

The result offers scientists a tantalising glimpse of what a very large complex crater looks like on Mars because it remains so fresh while most others - especially this size - have been affected by erosion, sedimentary infilling and overprinting by other geologic processes.

Such a fresh crater provides an insight into the impact process.

This view, in which the vertical dimension is exaggerated three-fold compared with horizontal dimensions, shows the ponding of material backed up behind massive wall-terrace blocks of bedrock.

Hundreds of impact craters on Mars have similarly ponded features with pitted surfaces. These 'pitted ponds' are thought to result when material melted by the crater-causing impacts is captured behind the wall terraces.

The portion of the Mojave Crater's north-western edge shown here spans about 2.5 miles in width halfway between the bottom and top of the image. The view is toward the north.

Mojave is one of the freshest large craters on Mars. A survey of its features indicates very few overprinting craters on them, and an analysis of that infrequency suggests the crater may be as young as about ten million years, very young for a crater of this size.

The fans and channels hint that impacts such as Mojave's may have unleashed water or water-ice from the subsurface to flow across the surface and, perhaps, condense as rain or snow for a brief period of Martian time.

This further suggests that early climate on Mars could have been heavily influenced by the intense bombardment about 3.9billion years ago when impacts creating craters Mojave's size and far larger were more common.
