Reverso Translation wrote:Level decrease more thaw? (Or another process that deforms the surface). The temporary space is more incongruous. The first two photographies (from left side to right) are consistent with this decrease, with few differences (the island in question might prove to be very different depending on that it is plunged or not). The photography of the right continues being consistent with the decrease (if we add the thaw), but there are many changes in the surface. It is supposed that the angle of the camera is the same with regard to the moon. And this line that crosses from left side to right the surface in the central photography, is one overlap of photographies?

Las dos primeras fotografías (de izquierda a derecha) son consecuentes con ese descenso, con pocas diferencias (el islote en cuestión podría mostrarse muy distinto en función de que esté sumergido o no). La fotografía de la derecha sigue siendo consecuente con el descenso (si sumamos el deshielo), pero hay muchos cambios en la superficie. Se supone que el ángulo de la cámara es el mismo respecto a la luna. ¿Y esa línea que atraviesa de izquierda a derecha la superficie en la fotografía central, es un solape de fotografías?

The first two photos (left to right) are consistent with this decline, with few differences (the island in question would show very different depending on whether it is submerged or not). The photograph on the right is still consistent with the decrease (if we add the thaw), but there are many changes on the surface. It is assumed that the camera angle is the same for the moon. And that line from left to right through the surface in the central photograph is an overlap of photographs?

Startreader wrote:"Man" means a male member of the dominant semi-intelligent species on Terra. It also means a unit of any tool-using, intelligent species, for example a Puppeteer, a Dalek or an ascended Ancient. In that sense, "man" includes the feminine, so using it to mean "an unspecified, general alien tool-user" was not gender specific. It is like using "whale" or "tree" or "worm". It is rather unfortunate that English can use the same word for the gender and the species but it does give us the opportunity for fun with words.

Hey, I have no problem with your assumption that a crane driver would usually be a man, but... aren't there female aliens?

As Mr Spock once said, It is a well-known fact that we Vulcans propagate our race by mail.

Looks like they didn't capture the full field of view in 2013. Most of the differences in the images can probably be explained away as noise, but not the mysterious feature inside the ellipse. (North is to the image bottom-left, by the way.)

I must have missed that episode.
