Dune buggies?
[guy in foreground, thinking] “I wonder what I did with my gold uniform? Oh well, this red one I borrowed will be fine.”
Thanks, but it doesn’t say that more than one event happened in the same place, only that two different amateur astronomers saw the same plume about 10 days apart, and that on other occasions in the past, different plumes were seen, which could easily mean that surface impacts happen on Mars, which has very thin atmosphere (surface pressure on Mars is about the same as 40 miles altitude above Earth).
Found at last!!!
Mars has no active volcanoes, or rather, best data is no eruptions in over two million years, and probably much longer ago (50-100 mya). If it does turn out to be a volcano, it’ll be big news, and probably have an impact on the focus of the next orbiter and/or rover mission.
Yeah, we’re in for now. ;’)
Earth hasn’t been heating up; Pluto’s near perihelion, and is as warm as it ever gets (that’s the reason there was a bit of a rush to get the probe launched, what, ten years ago? It’s nearing Pluto now); anyone speculating that the Earth is heating up probably doesn’t attribute it to solar activity, unless of course they’re refuting the Global Warming Hoax. :’)

So, where did the water on Mars come from?

:’D
During the opposition of 1894 a great light was seen on the illuminated part of the disk, first at the Lick Observatory, then by Perrotin of Nice, and then by other observers. English readers heard of it first in the issue of Nature dated August 2. I am inclined to think that this blaze may have been the casting of the huge gun, in the vast pit sunk into their planet, from which their shots were fired at us. Peculiar markings, as yet unexplained, were seen near the site of that outbreak during the next two oppositions.
The two images from 2012 (March and April) are the same event, so no surprise they’d be in the same place.
The third pic from 1997 has this caption:
“A curious plume-like feature was observed on Mars on 17 May 1997 by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is similar to the features detected by amateur astronomers in 2012, although appeared in a different location.”
Ah, I see what you are saying. They were talking about the May 1997 event right above that photo, but it is actually just another one of the 2012 event. My mistake.
OMG! I thought I was the only one who thinks of the Crawling Eye.
Million Dollar movie played it everyday for a week, maybe two, back when I was a kid.
Remember one of the stars? Forest Tucker. (I’m sure he hopes you forget).
Yes, it must be the Crawling Eye.
I bought a bunch of good old 1950s si fi movies last week. Been having a great time watching them!
THE ANGRY RED PLANET is next!
If you get Me tv, Svengooli shows 1950s horror flicks, one every Sat night. They’re pretty interesting.
Love old 50’s Sci-fi.
