More:




Row 1 and 3: Satellite images (from Google) of trees and shrubs around dunes in White Sands National Monument, New Mexico.
Row 2 and 4: Mars Global Surveyor images of similar spots around dunes in the northern polar regions of Mars, an area of high concentration of frozen water.

Originally posted by blue birdThe image on the left was taken shortly after or during such a storm and the diffuse light with almost no shadows is visible. In contrast to this, the image on the right, shows sharp shadows and clear blue sky, the normal condition on Mars.


Well the one thing I have noticed is that while NASA shows the "red", those that try to convince us that the sky is "blue" do exactly the same thing NASA does, only in the other direction...

Image one is clearly adjusted to show the darker red that NASA likes, while the other one is so clearly enhanced to the blue side that everything has a blue tint.... so neither image shows true color


What is more than interesting is 'red' sky - but that was not the case back in '76 as we can see from Viking images - original data no corection!!!



Only problem with that is that the Viking Rover shown in your image is blue as well... but it is really WHITE...



Now then I too have a Mars Color image....

The image below taken by Spirit Rover is one from NASA and is "Radiometrically Calibrated" This image represents true color on Mars. These images are not generally released to the public yet are not difficult to find. However for the time bring you will have to track them down yourself as we are not ready to hand over this source just yet...

Now I have done field work in geology for most of my life and the bluish black rocks and the sand in the image below look just like the volcanic Scoria, a type of Basalt in the desert sands here in Nevada... This summer I will go and take some photos of the area so we have a direct comparison.




In the meantime below is a small sample of Scoria or Vesicular Basalt. You can see the bluish black natural color of this material and it is readily found on Earth as one of the more common lavas...



This gives me a pretty good reference to be able to see that the image above is indeed true color on Mars...

Now the image below...

Mars or Earth... you decide...

You may be very surprised if I tell you that the Spirt In 2004, the Spirit rover recorded the warmest temperature around +5 C and the coldest is -15 Celsius in the Guisev Crater.

And that for example Viking measured warmest soil occasionally reaches +81° F (27° C).

* DRY !?

Do you find this soil dry or muddy and wet?

**Vegetation in cold arias - what about Siberian TUNDRA ?

My guess is that a lot of the stuff people see as "vegetation" is a result of darker, windblown material settling in crevasses, or possibly left over from melting ice. Anyone from a part of the world where the snow melts in the Spring and leaves little piles of dirt in the street knows the process I'm talking about.

A lot of the misperception about the Mars stuff is the way it has "branches" or "veins." Yeah, trees and bushes and other forms of plant life do that, but there are also plenty of erosion processes that will give you that same shape. And folks are also fooled by the light and shadows of the photos



I can clearly see the shadows here. There is really a lot of mystification going on about images - like it is coming from some other dimension - don't buy it any more that easily..

Posted about the red deviation several times before

Look up
Keith Laney, for how he found the correct values for the different camera's (pathfinder's, viking's etc) and all of his corrected images.

Also read what he says on his site about it.. it's not necessarily a devious intentional trick to color it red.

Some real pretty images, I love the one with the rocks and ground covered with white "snow" the most


Also continuing on keath Laney check The Color of Mars
