-Anomaly on Mars- So far nobody has given a good explanation...

Hi you there

I have post this image ones or twice as a comment in a thread. But I think it deserves its own thread

I don't know what it is, and till now, nobody can give me a good explanation. So lets give it a little more attention!

So, what is this? Or better, what caused this?
(a ROCK!, of course... i could have known that myself.. )

Find the original image here:
MOC R1104144
A scaled down version here:
LINK

The Object is approximately 130 meters wide.

My very own artistic rendition

And a colored gif version.

So, when its a rock, tell what rock, and why its round, and inside a crater. Learn me something here...
Or when it isnt a rock...

Well, you get the picture. haha

greetings have a nice day

Looks like a dome to me - looks occupied too. Big antenna on it?

Great catch, 130 meters eh!

Love the rendition, very George Leonard! Excellent
Cheers

Looks like a recent impact crater to me with the ejecta or outcropping that shows as a darker material. Just an opinion.

Hmmm. Your craters seem to be empty.
I know craters.
Find me one where something is in. So I can compare.

Well, I was going to say crater, then i got to your other pictures, and the animation. I wonder if it could be an image artifact? The antenna looking thing is very peculiar though. I guess my curiosity is a little piqued... I am undecided, and will wait... Sorry I can't offer an opinion either way, but interesting indeed.

Yeah, its hard to decide what it is. Cant conclude myself either.
To bad I couldn't find another higher res image of that area.

image artifact? nah..

Good catch Looks like a giant marble.

Can you post a picture of it zoomed in and lightened like in your gif. That really brings out the details. Thanks !

Looks like an impact crater to me. Surrounding ejecta is darker, possibly throwing up a darker layer of substrate from different layers of the strata.

And yes, impact craters, many of them, have "domes" in the middle of them. You can do a simple google search to see as many pictures as you want, as well as a valid scientific reason why and how they occur.

So yeah, you’re looking at an impact crater while having an over active amount of imagination combined with a desire to believe in the least likely scenario. Also, scientific ignorance concerning impact craters has left a void that you choose to fill with conspiracy and whatever else can think of.

Here ya go, simple to understand page describing impact craters. About 3/4 of the way down they go over craters with buldges in the middle: Simple Crater page

edit on 14-9-2010 by IgnoreTheFacts because: spelling

Ok, the crater I understand. The dome you call it, ok, I think its more like a ball.

BUT!

Give me a link to an image with a crater which throws (has thrown) up a "darker layer of substrate".

Looking at your link I get something like this:


Sorry, I cant compare that with this:


"over active amount of imagination combined with a desire to believe in the least likely scenario"
"scientific ignorance concerning impact craters has left a void "
huh lol
If its that easy, give me an example. I didnt find any!

This is the best I can make of it.

So it's a normal crater with some normal "void?!" in it...(as you almost always see )

Nope, till now, no one has given a clear explanation.

And while you are at it turn it upside down.

Dig a bit deeper my friend there's lots to find and see.
Any of you remember those pictures that trick your mind? That's a clue.
When you do though your thread will be trashed, I guarantee that.
Mark my words on the following ok?
There is life on mars
There is water on mars
There are trees on mars
There are buildings on mars.

Look up golfball on mars and flip the image upside down. I would go as far as saying we are either on mars or have been.
Slate me later. I'm right. Remember where you read this because all will be coming to public knowledge.

Looking at the original I would agree that it looks like an impact of something. The way it appears to be reflecting light and that "pipe" looking thing coming out the center looks very odd.

p.s. Thanks Lunica !

Obviously it's an Ion Cannon to defend the Rebel fleet on Mars from the evil Empire

[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/5df7873910ad.jpg[/atsimg]

Either that or it's a crater with artifacts in it

Rotated as suggested.

On the older mars images, many of these so called domes appeared. On newer clearer images they tend to be just irregular shaped objects. You will have to do your own research as its your thread, but you will find other threads here if you look.

Hmmm kinda looks like one on the Moon from Clementine..

Forget the crater, that is a typical crater found all over on the Moon and Mars.

But what the heck is that adobe-looking, fort-like thing at the upper left of your top pic? At least, it looks like such with even balanced windows, but then in the lower portion of that image it virtually disappears, looking much like the simple layering of a shale or limestone area. Mars plays some funny tricks on us...or is it Mars doing the trickery?

I did say.

a reply to: Lunica

Is this what you want

The dome shape on craters is due to the angle of light, it's wind blown dust/soil which has a wave like pattern.

Looks like a pretty standard complex crater to me.
