I think we must return back to thread ( it would be great if zorgon or someone else open a thread about this anomalies- specialy regarding “tower“ structures - as we see “them“ in many different places - so folks will not miss this fascinating subjects).






Sleep N. H., and Zahnle K. "Refuge from Asteroid Impacts on Early Mars and the Early Earth" - have a theory called Ballistic Panspermia .

Basically, their idea was that Mars was long before (4.5 mil. years ago) was some what safer from “violent borbardment from Sun“:

Whereas the Earth was probably hit repeatedly by objects up to 500 km across which would have vaporized the oceans and created a deadly steam atmosphere (see Earth, early conditions), fewer giant impacts would have taken place on Mars (because it is a smaller target) and the absence of large amounts of surface water would have saved the planet from being as severely steam-sterilized. Any Martian thermophiles living just a few hundred meters below the surface, it has been suggested, would have been able to survive the trauma of collision with a 500-km-wide object. Furthermore, because of Mars' relatively cool interior and low gravity (allowing cracks, in which microbes could reside, to extend further down into the planet's interior) thermophilic subterranean organisms may have existed in a wide habitable zone extending to depths of several thousand meters. On Earth, by comparison, although thermophiles 1 km below the surface might have survived an ocean-boiling impact this would have left an uncomfortably narrow habitable zone – much below 1 km and microbes would probably be cooked by the planet's hot interior.8, 9

Look all this water talk now, clouds, even snow....And I also suspect , that there are no just microorganisms...or was not just them in the past.

O boy am i at least puzzled by J. Skipper findings...and also I am looking very, very thoroughly through original MOC strip images of map projection of South Polar region!


*Mars




* Earth




original strip MSSS

I am expecting MOS to take the same great resolution images of this highly “mysterious“ region up close - as in a imaging “bleached“ rocks....and what are they waiting!?


* nicely colored hart crater...amassing to look at this shape!

From long ago - seasonal changes were obviously puzzling astronomers.
Those “greenish“ dark spots changing during late winter/beginning of spring!?

Interesting 19 century view through telescope 242 and 358 on 6? inch object-glass.

* WINTER



APPEARANCE OF MARS, 1852, FEBRUARY 3, 6 H. 50 M., Greenwich Mean Time. Power of Telescope, 242 and 358 on 6⅓ inch object-glass


*SPRING



APPEARANCE OF MARS, 1852, MARCH 23, 5 H. 45 M., Greenwich Mean Time. Power of Telescope, 358; 6⅓ inch object-glass.


* SUMMER




* and some observations and ideas:

There is another theory about Mars, certainly not so absurd as either of those just named, but scarcely supported by evidence at present—the idea, namely, advanced by a French astronomer, that the ruddy color of the lands and seas of Mars is due to red trees and a generally scarlet vegetation. Your poet Holmes refers to this in those lines of his, "Star-clouds and Wind-clouds" (to my mind among the most charming of his many charming poems):

"The snows that glittered on the disc of Mars
Have melted, and the planet's fiery orb
Rolls in the crimson summer of its year."
It is quite possible, of course, that such colors as are often seen in American woods in the autumn-time may prevail in the forests and vegetation of Mars during the fullness of the Martian summer. The fact that during this season the planet looks ruddier than usual, in some degree corresponds with this theory. But it is much better explained, to my mind, by the greater clearness of the Martian air in the summer-time. That would enable us to see the color of the soil better. If our earth were looked at from Venus during the winter-time, the snows covering large parts of her surface, and the clouds and mists common in the winter months, would hide the tints of the surface, whereas these would be very distinct in clear summer weather.

Do we see this action in other parts of the Martian Planet? I see quite a bit of water erosion, modest amounts of wind erosion...could that be what is responsible for such things as this:

-
This salt pan, located in Death Valley, California, is a natural depression where water accumulated, evaporated, and left behind salt deposits

More on color of Mars:


NASA and ESA:




Then in 2004, the European Space Agency took it’s first full color image of the Gusev crater. What made the ESA image so immediately interesting was the fact that the “dark mass” features seen streaking portions of the floor of the 90-mile-wide Crater in the NASA imaging (left). Can now be seen in true color by ESA revealed by Mars Express (right) to be various amazing shades of G R E E N ! ( big lett. by me)


'The “streaks,” then, would simply be more colonies of algae from the craters … spread by algae spores surviving for a time between the crater floors ….'[

'During 2004 observations from the ESA Mars Express spacecraft in orbit around Mars, methane was detected in its atmosphere. And even more recently, Methane has been detected on Mars by three independent groups of scientists. And this could be a sign of life - indicating methane-producing bacteria'
