La planète rouge en photo

[absent]

Salut les amis ...

Avec les derniers rovers Spirit et oportunity et les différents orbiteurs sur mars, une base de donnée immense et spectaculaire sur la planète mars a vue le jours ... Alors pour ceux qui aiment les paysages marsiens, j'ai concocté une petite tournée sur la planète rouge ... avec des vues étonnantes garanties lol.

Avant la balade, commencons par quelques infos sur la planète :

Mars

La planète Mars est la quatrième planète du système solaire et la troisième plus petite, après Pluton et Mercure. Mars possède deux satellites naturels : Déimos et Phobos.

La couleur rouge de cet astre lui valut dans l'antiquité le rapprochement avec le dieu grec de la guerre Arès, puis avec son équivalent romain Mars, le rouge évoquant le sang des champs de bataille. Les Égyptiens la nommaient « Horus rouge (Hor-desher) » et connaissaient son « déplacement à reculons ». Les Babyloniens la nommaient Nirgal/Nergal, l'étoile de la mort. Actuellement Mars est aussi connue sous le nom de planète rouge. En Chine, Japon, Corée et Viêt Nam, Mars est l'étoile de feu 火星 (huǒxīng en pinyin, かせい ou kasei en japonais, 화성 en coréen)

Le symbole astronomique de Mars est un cercle avec une flèche pointant vers le nord-est (Unicode 0x2642 ♂). Ce symbole est une représentation stylisée du bouclier et de la lance du dieu Mars. (wiki)

Inca City as seen by Mariner 9. Inca City is possibly a network of crevasse fillings, ridges of sediment deposited in fissures in dead glacial ice.


The so-called "face" on Mars, located in the Cydonia Mensae region, possibly a a subglacial volcano


This picture of sand dunes in Wirtz Crater was obtained by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) in early October 2002


This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) high resolution image shows a field of dark sand dunes on the floor of Kaiser Crater in southeastern Noachis Terra.

This MGS MOC image shows erosional streaks on dunes which means that the dunes are indurated (cemented). Click to enlarge.


One of the earliest results of the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC)investigation shortly after the spacecraft began to orbit Mars in 1997 was the discovery of layered rock outcrops reaching deep down into the martian crust in the walls of the Valles Marineris


Nirgal Vallis is a narrow valley system that stretches approximately 420 kilometers (260 miles) across the martian surface near 28°S latitude, north of the large basin, Argyre


One of the key elements of the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) Extended Mission is to look for and monitor changes taking place on the planet over the course of a second---and, eventually, a third---martian year

Each spring as the sun comes up over the polar regions, the seasonal frosts that have accumulated there during winter begin to sublime away. Dunes are among the first features to show spots and streaks resulting from the defrosting process.

The presence of impact craters on these volcanoes, particularly on Uranius Tholus; indicates that theyare quite ancient and are not active today
