Well, if you are so sure about this, I think everyone here HAVE to do the same.

And what this pic you posted have to do with this thread?

This for sure. Not natural.

What doesn't look natural?

Basalt is natural, and can have quite the amount of straight lines and polygons.

Basalt

Here is just one example of many:



Something interesting to note from wiki:

On Earth, most basalt magmas have formed by decompression melting of the mantle. Basalt has also formed on Earth's Moon, Mars, Venus, and even on the asteroid Vesta.

I think you missed the context. Im not talking about that mate, Im talking about this:

As HiRISE only has high resolution images, its images cover a very small area (usually some 6km by 8km area).

To show all of Mars surface, Google Earth (or NASA's World Wind) use images from several missions (Viking Orbiter 1 and 2, Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (with images from HiRISE and from the Context Camera) and Mars Express) and from different resolutions.

So, to find the original images, we have to look in other places.

I posted original photo location of joint sets "machu pichu" on page 2. HiRISE photo

they may be columnar jointing in basalt as suggested above...here is another martian example on smaller scale.

www.uahirise.org...

or may be eroded joint set, not from cooling basaltic magma (impact melting), but from tectonic stresses, rebound after impact etc. Here's a Earth example en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Joints_Caithness.JPG

Do you have any idea where we can find it?

Reflections like when the story emerged from the face on Mars. But I dont think so.

It's just another case of bad joining of different images.

How can you be so sure? Because, in this way, it seems we have a "conspiracy" of bad professionals working in google.

Here is link to that HiRISE photo and explanation of "Machu Pichu"

hirise.lpl.arizona.edu...

"The long shadows emphasize small scale topographic features. Wind erosion is responsible for much of the morphology in this region."

at same site, do a search for Hellas Basin, some crazy structure and other features in that crater

Here is also a cool online viewer of HiRISE images
marsoweb.nas.nasa.gov...

A TIP: ROTATE THE "FALL IN HELLAS BASIN" image ON SOUTH-EAST

why South-East? those joint sets are all over that photo, and all over that part of the Hellas Basin.

How large are those marvelous basalt rocks?

from the HiRISE site
"How Long Does it Take for an Image to Get Processed?
After an image is acquired by the HiRISE camera, it takes about 15 minutes to transmit it from the spacecraft to Earth, via the Deep Space Network (DSN). It can take a few hours for the data to be transmitted from the DSN to JPL, and JPL then sends the data to HiROC within an hour. Once an image is received by HiROC computers, it takes about two hours for our pipelines to process it. We then have to wait a week for the ephemerides (position of spacecraft relative to Mars) data to be constructed. After that, it takes about two hours to complete the remainder of the image processing."

so unless NASA and JPL hijack the data and wipe out any anomalies within a few hours (for thousands of images), government censorship of these images doesnt make much sense.

And scientists at the University of Arizona (HiRISE operations center) are like scientists everywhere...not gov't shills but publicity %$6$%s if the prime investigator (PI) or his grad students or regular students found an alien artifact they would be the first to get their names in the history books.

Another cool thing about HiRISE, the PI gives graduate level planetary geo classes where the students pick the targets. and here www.uahirise.org... even the general public can make an account and make suggestions on where you want images. I just signed up, now have to think of a target
