What do you think the extensive green landscape is in this picture of Mars'? (Vanity)
Posted on 12/26/2014 9:31:02 PM PST by LibWhacker
If you have it installed on your computer, fire up Google Earth and click on the icon along the top edge of your screen that looks like Saturn. A menu will drop down. Click on Mars. After Google Mars loads, enter these coordinates into the search bar: -84.2952811,-56.5576401 .
Here's what you'll see:
At first, I thought someone had photoshopped it. But you can see that isn't true.
So what do you think it is? I don't know if the picture is presented in true color, but if it is it sure looks like moss to me!... Moss that can survive temps as low as -125F in a constant bath of cosmic rays.

Mars’ soil is red over the entire planet. What makes this soil green?

If that’s Moss, watchout for the nematodes.

That’s plausible. Are green carbonate deposits on earth usually associated with algae?

Okay, cool, thanks. I was also wondering about copper, but the shade of green doesn’t look right.

Looks like someone took a picture of metal and covered it with pond slime. ???

Whacker, don’t know but suspect a mineral deposit possibly similar to brass or copper.
