Mars ... not just boring rocky desert

[Petr Schreiber]

Maybe you already noticed,

but interesting photos of Mars are published all over the web, often marked as "trees" on Mars.
I found out the source is the following website:
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/

There is ton of interesting material to study for any "graphics positive" people.

Nice BW image with "trees" here: http://hirise-pds.lpl.arizona.edu/PDS/EXTRAS/RDR/PSP/ORB_007900_007999/PSP_007962_2635/PSP_007962_2635_RED.NOMAP.browse.jpg

I am sure there is so much to Mars we don't know yet or are being kept from.

"trees" on mars we are making some association with and think about real trees on earth, but...they are

I found this and translated as...


...are relics of geological process, in winter time the sand dunes are covered with ice of CO2. this ice is melting the sand when leaving the top and wandering to bottom, remains back black patterns and paths, so it’s looking like a tree structure …”

nice idea to have real trees on mars, but where are the birds / ice birds ? ;)

thank for the links, I will study next days. interesting topics! best regards, frank

Yes,

sadly not a true trees :unguee:
But still very interesting "graphics effect" on the planet.
