Starship Asterisk*

There is the possibility of to find salt liquid water on Mars. It can to have elemental life on Mars. But, you need to find another important point for the life: the carbon element Carbon element------------ life Not element carbon ------ not life Silicon Life, and other life forms. http://www.airs...

You should capture it, bottle it, and sell it to California

Yes, by a scale of 1.5. It would be nice to have roll overs on these displaying an actual vertical height image as well as the exaggerated height images.

It looks to me like it could also be rocks crumbling and rolling down the side disturbing lighter colored dust on the surface. Since it is seasonal, perhaps the temperature change causes the rock to expand and contract which makes them crumble. Just a thought. To be clear, the hypothesis that this ...

V It is a pain that in a place like this under the name NASA are selected absolutely false images designed with the sole intention of using the impact of lying to get attention of impressionable unwary. Here is an example of a REAL image obtained in the minute of totality from 140 miles N-NW of Ibiz...

If there is life on Mars, and there could be ,
and if it is microbial and surviving in underground brine deposits,
then the seasonal crater wall streaks that indicate this brine eruption/seepage
would be the best place to search for residual life.

What a nice image! :D I, of course, love the subtle blue reflection nebulosity in the image, caused by tiny dust particles scattering light, preferably blue light, in our direction. But at lower right there are two small orange patterns, showing the reverse side of dust: it preferentially scatters ...

These shadows look all wrong. It looks like the sun farther right and behind the camera not right in front. The shadows are in deed pointing to the left of the image indicating that the sun is off to the right at the time the image was taken. This is likely because the sun Was off to the right at t...

Just keeping the fries all the way home can be tough

What causes the Red Fire patches to the left of the Analemma?
It looks like LMC and SMC or Red Aurorae but ???

Who ever would have imagined great balls of water flying throughout space? Star Trek Voyager Episode "30 Days" Aired in 1998 Tom Paris spends 30 days in the Brig and, during a flashback episode, recounts the events leading to his incarceration. This episode features an Ocean Planet where ...

The upper left and right of the picture makes it appear that the camera is actually within the atmosphere of the planet. How can those arcs of diffuse light be that high on the photo? Assuming that the craft is not within the atmosphere, what has caused this illusion? The atmosphere is in the image...

Can I presume the semi-circular streaks more or less parallel to the horizon are star trails? Or is the atmosphere of Pluto *VASTLY* more complicated than we ever imagined? Those are not star trails, but are, in fact, layers of atmosphere. While no star trails are visible in the APOD version, there...

At that low angle, those mountains strongly resembles busted and stacked Arctic pack ice, oh...wait a minute...it is ice

What did the Prostate say to the Testicle?

There is a definite change in Brightness or reflectiveness of the area at 2 O'clock In This image http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/styles/full_width_feature/public/thumbnails/image/pia19889.jpg VS This Image http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/images/mediumsize/PIA19890_ip.jpg Or http://photo...

I too noticed that the "Shells" extend well beyond the image. A deeper image of a larger area might show the Shells extending almost twice as far as indicated in this image

Caught one of these once, later in the evening at around 9:30 while taking out the trash, I looked up and noticed the telltale glow but the flare was glowing in a most prominent red hue, most probably from the reflected sunset color skimming off the horizon (from the satellites perspective)

Perhaps Minorroids or Asterettes or Asteressimals

The length of the day on Mars is 24h-40m and is referred to as a Sol. Any given Mars Sol will always occur across 2 Earth days. Either date could be correct so granted the image could only have been taken on a single Mars day, SOL 1065 does correspond to Aug 4-5 2015. So, unless the series of images...

Gas-nados are erupting on the sun. They may be showering its surface with cooked "squarks" that bite with scintillating symmetry and tantalizing tessellations.

Just having some phun with physics.
