I LOVE this picture -- 1N154005002EDNL0M1 (its the one of the martian clouds), BTW, at the risk of asking two stupid questions. 1) How are clouds on Mars different from earth? and 2) Could hail fall from those clouds?

Animation from Spirit Sol 316 (L3, L5 & L6 filters). The same scene seen on same Sol, Sun slant slightly skewed. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> ------------------------------------------------------------------- "I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.

Hey swampcat, your animation is really COOL !!! Thanks ! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> I feel better than James Brown. </div>

1) How are clouds on Mars different from earth? and 2) Could hail fall from those clouds? I don’t know anyone who fully understands the weather processes on Mars but I would guess that some clouds in the South Polar regions may be made out of CO2 ice crystals. As far as hail, I would believe, unless there is a strange process in the Martian atmosphere, hail couldn’t form - hail requires a process that involves a liquid state. Terrestrially speaking, evaporated water, (water vapor), may not have enough salts after attaching to dust molecules in the atmosphere, to change the zero point of water low enough to form a liquid state. A question I have is how acidic does iron oxide, Martian dust, mixed with water vapor get and can it form water droplets at a lower zero point temperature in a 6 millibars atmosphere on Mars? On earth, sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are the primary causes of acid rain. Analysis of spectral features due to the atmospheric dust indicates a SiO2 content of 60 ± 10%, implying that substantial geochemical differentiation has occurred The particles appear to consist of claylike aggregates stained or cemented with ferric oxide (Fe2O3); at least some of the stain and cement is probably maghemite (-Fe2O3). The presence of the phase would imply that Fe2+ ions leached from the bedrock, passing through a state as free Fe2+ ions dissolved in liquid water. These particles could be a freeze-dried precipitate from ground water poured out on the surface. An alternative is that the magnetic particles are titanomagnetite occurring in palagonite and inherited directly from a basaltic precursor. http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/278/5344/1768 <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>

I've been wondering about: in many of the (re) processed images you release are smooth dark bands of sediments in what appear to be water - worn channels; these sediments appear to be (dare I say it) wet...... are there, to your knowledge, any images or data available regarding these apparent deposits It’s a weird process. A few post ago, Silylene seem to think that it may be caused by some kind of seepage. I agree that there is some on-going process that causes the darker areas in Endurance crater to form smooth dark streaks. It could be a visual process from the imagers to bring out more detail and extract more data out of the image but I agree with Silylene assumption that there is some chemical or alluvial type process creating these dark streak areas. Below is an image of one of the areas that appears to have dried up within a short period of time??? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>

"... your animation is really COOL !!! Thanks !" My pleasure <img src="/images/icons/cool.gif" />. --------------- Here is a panorama I put together.

Good job. I think some of the most recent L7 images they compiled at the seepage area in endurance must be for animation. You may want to check out what they were trying to do. They may be looking for some traces of seepage or alluvial type flow. I'm going to be out of commission for at least the next several days if not longer, moving to a new location on planet earth. Be looking forward to seeing more of your work and the other people who have posted images here. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>

Swampcat · Dec 2, 2004

Thanks rlb2. Which set of L7 images are you referring to? I did one animation and, after staring at it for far too long, saw nothing happening. Of course, I might have done the wrong one.<img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" /> Hope you have a safe move. If you don't mind my asking, where are you moving to? ----------------- Here's the latest from Oppy (L2, L5 & L7 filters). <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> ------------------------------------------------------------------- "I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.

Which set of L7 images are you referring to? Sub-Frames 289, 288 and before. they took a lot of L7 images in a row, I don't know if they did that by mistake or for a purpose? If you don't mind my asking, where are you moving to? I am moving from the Northwest to Phoenix Arizona. Looking for a little more sun. I am trying to get back online and may do that before the end of the week. See you then, keep up the good work. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>
