Mars and Water

Mars the mysterious planet indeed!

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, the odds are its a duck.

I give you coutesy of Nasa and Google Mars loads of water.

Just follow the water and you will behold a sight for sore eyes (literally).

I spent a great deal of time studying the many amazing sites in Google Mars and have no doubt as to what I see. There is a walking bridge over the water, also water sprays which look like aeriation sprays. Keep following the water downwards.

Go here using Google Mars: 21°24'44.94"N, 7°54'32.55"W

If someone wishes to please post an image of this area. I'm having no luck getting the image posted

Do you mean this?

Thanks Armap,

Yes thats the general area, if you could do a tighter zoom into the crevice area and possibly flip the area in vertical, you should start noticing things quickly.

I can do better than that.

I can go this web page and see a photo of that area with a resolution of 28.5 cm/pixel.

The best way of doing it is by downloading IASViewer and then choose one of the "JP2 QUICKLOOK (IAS Viewer)" options.

The resolution of those images is better than the resolution of the images on Google Earth in which we can see people on the streets.

Here you have an example.

Click for full size version.

Thanks again armap.

I'm also downloading the jp2 as well.

This is a big image, but I know its certainly worth it.

I couldn't get into this site at all yesterday.

Great stuff!

You need a program that can handle JPEG2000 files.
Photoshop has a plugin for that, but you can open JPEG2000 files with the free KDU_Show program, from Kakadu Software

Thanks again armap, you certainly are a treasure trove of information and help.

Once again my deepest appreciation for your help with this.

I'm unfamiliar with Google Mars, and can't figure out how to plug in coordinates...I'm interested to see the "bridge" mentioned in the OP. Can anyone post a clear picture?! Pretty please!!

I think you might need to drop the comma and put them in the search box

then press on the magnifying glass.

be sure you put a space between the 2 coordinates.

Let me know how you do with it.

Mob

Further to the last info.

It didn't work for me, here's another way.

Put Becquerel Crater in the search box then pick the square box next to the crater that says lots of layers at becquerel crater then you on the strip.

just manuever your postion the to match the lats and longs.

Sorry about the complications.

Hi Nicholaswa,

I think you will be seeing a much clearer and higher res version shortly.
Armap is downloading it as well as myself. Its over 500 megabytes, I now have 80 per cent of it.

Mob

Thanks - can't wait to see that picture!

The only problem is that there is no easy way of showing the photo to other people, this particular photo is a huge 70658x31261 pixels.

There's another way of seeing these images (I always forget about it), but it does not have this image, I don't know why they do not have all images.

But you can start by the smaller resolution version, here.

OK, I have reviewed these photos and clearly we are not being told the truth.

There appears to be a lot of "wave action" in a lot of these photos. But why would there be "waves" if there was no liquid water?

The photos look similar to still photos of a wavy lake on earth...

Put Becquerel Crater in the search box then pick the square box next to the crater that says lots of layers at becquerel crater then you on the strip.

I don't see that square box. I'll keep trying & looking elsewhere...I'm dying to see this bridge you mentioned!

Is this the right URL for Google Mars?

www.google.com...

A search for "Cydonia" at that URL takes you to a region of the map that is marred with blurry lines. I imagine everyone on this thread probably knew that already, but it's weird enough to mention, I think...

The best way of doing it is by downloading Google Earth, version 5.0 (Beta) includes Mars, and it has links to the images, that was how I got that image name.

Armap,

I downloaded the 500+ meg file and the resolution doesn't look any better.

Also tried the 300 meg rgb and it has the area of interest missing?

No problem though. Try flipping the image you posted in vertical plane, it looks much better to my eye.

I'll keep looking.

Also that whole data strip is loaded with very interesting viewing.

Mob
