    A blue sunset: from the NASA rover

    A blue sunset: from the NASA rover

    The NASA rover is the Mar's version of the Energizer Bunny. It keeps going. Here are some recent pics at the link above.

    The Red Planet has a blue streak. NASA's Curiosity rover has been traveling along the Mars surface by its lonesome for nearly 1,000 days now (which has done terrible things to its complexion). Last month, while it was taking a break inside the Gale Crater, the rover looked up at the sky between dust storms and watched as the sun set on the horizon amidst a tinge of blue. Thankfully, Curiosity is an astute tourist and took the time to capture the sunset in a series of photos released this week.


    The hue can be directly attributed to the aforementioned dust storms. "When the blue light scatters off the dust, it stays closer to the direction of the sun than light of other colors does," said Curiosity member Mark Lemmon in a statement. "The rest of the sky is yellow to orange, as yellow and red light scatter all over the sky instead of being absorbed or staying close to the sun."

    That is amazing. How strange to see a sunset that color.

    Question

    Kinda looks like Masada, mebbe the Jews came from Mars...

    NASA images show Martian 'walled city' ruins
    Oct 06, 2016 - Images clicked by Mars Curiosity Rover are being interpreted and increasingly thought to show evidence of an ancient civilisation that once lived and thrived in Mars.
    There seems to be increasing evidence of an ancient Martian civilisation, whose ruins are visible on images snapped by earthlings, claim UFO seekers. They base their theories on photographs taken by NASA's Curiosity Rover, convinced that intelligent life might once have existed on the Red Planet. Martine Grainey, an avid seeker, was the first to examine and post images of a Martian "wall" on her Facebook page.

    An alien conspiracy theorist wrote in a blog post titled 'Alien City Ruins on Mars? In Official NASA Images': "In fact, nearly every single image beamed back by NASA's rovers on Mars seems to show at least one particular 'object' which appears to be artificially carved or created. While most of these objects are the result of pareidolia, other findings cannot be dismissed so easily."


    The 'ruin' in close-up

    Pareidolia takes place "when the brain tricks the eyes into seeing familiar objects such as faces or animals in textures, patterns or clouds." But again, could such a long parade of images for so many theorists be due to pareidolia? "What if tens of millions of years ago, when Mars was a planet like Earth is today, an alien civilization flourished there, developed and created massive monuments, structures, temples and cities, just like we have done throughout Earth's long history?" asks a conspiracy theorist website.

    The claims were validated by UFO hunter Scott C Waring, of the UFO Daily Sightings Website. He explains that you can find buildings with windows there. Being an avid believer that a thriving civilisation once existed there, but has been camouflaged by NASA, he wrote: "NASA had to release the photo to the public to say 'we didn't hide it, we released it to the public. This way they won't get caught for hiding evidence later. But we know that trick, and we are onto them."

    NASA releases new telescopes for exoplanet mission
    Oct 07, 2016 - A brief discussion on NASA's new approach to discover new habitable planets.
    The search for undiscovered exoplanet continues, as NASA is going to launch new space telescopes. It is expected that this space telescopes are much efficient and it can give better results. According to NASA, it is known that the search will continue for at least two years outside the solar system. And the ground telescopes will verify the result of the initial search. It is expected that thousands of undiscovered exoplanets will be identified in this project, and space and ground telescopes will verify the result if there is any kind of existence of life or water are on that planet.


    NASA exoplanet misson

    So far, NASA had just a few exoplanets as a target. But the introduction of new space telescopes and TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) will change it completely. And it is expected that it will give the opportunity to much discovery as well. The working principle of the TESS will be significantly different, and it will detect the planets by a small decrease in the brightness of the star. So, this principle will help to analyze and verify different planets and the possibility of life on those planets as well.

    The old Kepler Space Telescope has discovered about 1284 new planets outside our solar system, and all of them are verified. Among the discovered planets, there are about 550 planets have rocky shaped like earth and 9 of those planets are considered to be an ideal zone for the life. So, the discovery made by Kepler satellite, which is on the orbit from 2009 has helped a lot in the discoveries in the unidentified exoplanets. And it can be expected that its successor JWST can help a lot with its discoveries of new exoplanets. The design of JWST is a little bit smaller than other telescopes but with its infrared capabilities, it can locate any potential planets where life can exist.

    Very cool. That's quite an array of telescopes. The JWST is very complex. I hope it unfolds the way its supposed to. We don't have the shuttles anymore and even if we did that telescope is going to be way out there in space. Musk and friends better get on top of this. From the The Right Stuff movie... kind of,
    Some pud knockers got to dream this stuff up and some other pud knockers gotta build it and put it up there. Those pud knockers are called......
    Anyway, this is cool too....

    heh heh, he said anulus.

    Humans probably started on Mars. Then came here after a nuclear war.

    Maybe Humans will end up back on Mars after a nuclear war here.

    We need to get their prior to the nuclear war here.
