Unique? Skeptic?
Where have you been? Over the last two years opportunity's cameras have photographed HUNDREDS of dunes with clearly defined strata. "Uniformity?" The saturation of sand will NOT be uniform but in a gradient. More at the lower levels(where there is more sand) and less at the top. GRAVITY an...

I don't get it Skeptic.
What you are saying is that the wind "preferentialy"deposited grains of singular consistancy at some levels,then came back to deposit smaller lighter grains,and then came back to add more heavy grains in another layer,and so on. Then came back after these strata "settled" and car...

downhill gravity
We have to remember that everything in the vicinity of our sun is falling toward it or in an orbit around it as a result of Sol's gravity and the object's inertia. Even the ort cloud is suspended in the influence of Sol's gravity and it's very very far away. Yet, it's is gliding along through the co...

My isp hates me. I have attempted, three times, to post a thread detailing answeres to jakienle's questions, only to get booted at upload time. In a day or two I'll be back with a full summation (hopefully) of what I know and "believe" are good answeres. The situation is fairly complex but...

a thought
Good to have a Pro here Betsy. :D I would think the reasons for the poor return are many. First we see that Cassini is doing a "drive by" when it's imaging Titan. Magellan was orbiting Venus. Cassini just swings by Titan occasionaly and snaps "on the fly". Sort of like taking a p...

For Harry
Harry.Good question as to the "pristine" look of these sol 28 fossils. Knowing what we know about the water activity there at Meridiani I would assume erosion is always a work in progress. I would suggest that these fossils have only recently eroded out of the sedimentary rock they became ...

Mars and it's former oceans
There is little doubt in my mind Mars supported a substantial ocean and a substantial biosphere in the past. Some time ago I was browsing the MOLA (Mars Orbital Laser Altimeter)site and noticed they had published a very nice topographic map of the entire planet. I dabble in graphical renderings usin...
