Strongest evidence yet of "WET MARS" . . . input please!

Microscopic Imager Non-linearized Full frame EDR acquired on Sol 28 of Opportunity's mission to Meridiani Planum at approximately at approximately 12:26:38 Mars local solar time, Microscopic Imager dust cover commanded to be OPEN. NASA/JPL/Cornell/USGS

"stereo" strip . . .


Just below center and just to the left of center notice what appears to be a fractured "spherule". Notice the dark center. This is STRONGLY suggestive of growth by accretion - an increase by natural growth or by gradual external addition . . . a process FREQUENTLY associated with a water environment. This is MY interpretation. But the picture is NASA/JPL . . . it is worth a thousand words. Feel free to contribute.

. . . scale to the image? . . . about 1.2"sq

Shocking huh... : )

On my profile page are some photos ....the little image of the yellow colored frame around a pool is actually very misleading as scale goes.
Its a Plasma gantry.....biggy sheets of steel and alloy ..requiring at times..2 50 ton remote control cranes to manuever work material.
Cryogenic and liquid nitrogen gas in banks for cutting operation.

Machine cuts best underwater..but can cut dry..but them the air rips like being near a F-106 Delta Dart.
Even with proper hearing protection..it can be unconfortable to be near.
Job duties also entail X-ray..reading film..Ultrasound frequency study of metal properties.

I understand the principles of *Electric Universe...not hard..seeing the ident at work for many years via my job duties.

Phil V made a rather shallow commment about E.U...being kookville for creationists..

kinda a cheap seats comment in light of realtime data construct.

The author of this article below...
David P Stern

The Io Dynamo

The giant planet Jupiter has four large moons, discovered by Galileo and visible through good binoculars. It has in addition many smaller ones, as well as a narrow ring like Saturn's, observed by the spacecraft Pioneer 11. Of the large moons--comparable to our own moon or bigger--the outer three are icy spheres, but the innermost one, Io, is heated by tides, and as a result has volcanoes and an ionosphere which is a fair conductor of electricity. Jupiter itself like Earth is a magnet, but one that is 20,000 times stronger; as a result it has a large magnetosphere and a very intense radiation belt.

A dynamo is created in a magnetic field by an electric circuit, part of which is moving relative to the rest (additional conditions must also be met). The circuit may consist entirely of fluids (as in sunspots), but solid conductors can also be involved.

The conditions for a dynamo are fulfilled in the case of Io and and Jupiter. Both are conductors, and they move quite differently--Io orbits, Jupiter rotates. Furthermore, the plasma between them conducts electricity very well along its magnetic field lines, which act as if they were wires connecting Io and the planet. One expects a continuous current to flow in this circuit, feeding on Io's orbital energy.


The drawing is not to scale. Actually Io is much smaller. Watchful readers may notice that the north-south magnetic polarity of Jupiter is the reverse of what it is for Earth. They might also note that if the drawing views Jupiter from the Sun's side, Io actually orbits in a direction opposite to that of the arrow. However, the plasma which fills space around it rotates with Jupiter and moves much faster, overtaking Io. Relative to the plasma, therefore, Io moves backwards. The path of the space probe Voyager 1 was designed to check out this dynamo, by flying close to where its currents were expected to flow. It did so on March 5, 1979, and its magnetometer very clearly detected the signature of a current of about a million amperes. Previous to that it was noted that unlike any other moon of Jupiter, Io had a strong influence on radio emissions from Jupiter's magnetosphere, which depended on its position: it could be that the moon's unique electric currents were involved in this.

Postscripts

The Hubble Space Telescope, using its Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2, has been photographing auroras of the planet Jupiter. Recent pictures,taken in ultra-violet light, have shown not only rings of aurora around Jupiter's magnetic poles, but also a spot of light, formed where the magnetic field lines of Io reached the surface. Presumably, they represent a special kind of aurora, powered by the electric currents of the Io dynamo. A recent picture shows not only the footprint aurora of Io (which also leaves an auroral "trail" behind it), but also spots of light attributed to auroras formed in a similar manner by Europa and Ganymede, more distant moons of Jupiter

What predators??

It must be a predator that we have not seen yet.

You have ALIEN fungus out there???

While I am sure that the fungus is not identical. Becaue of similarity to other life forms on Earth I would theorize that it must be fungus or something like it.

"...At the equator it is warm because the sun is directly overhead all year..."

Well, twice per year, anyway...

At the equator the sun cuts a plain across the sky that is most nearly overhead all year round, which is why there are no appreciable seasonal variations there.

Phil V made a rather shallow commment about E.U...

There's sort of a context here. There was a poster, whose name I've mercifully forgotten, who in the space of a few days underwent a transformation, and at the end of his transformation, he posted solely -- and prolifically -- about plasma, sparks, etc., using it to explain everything from soup to nuts. Over and over and over again. Somewhere along the line, he started spamming the threads with huge cut+paste jobs consisting of the bio of his unsung hero (some researcher of antiquity who was likewise obsessed with this stuff) as his reply to anyone who said anything to him. That, and huge thread-choker image files. Lots of 'em.

Then, one day, he disappeared -- along with everything he'd ever posted, including one entire thread. (I guess when an account gets hit with the "plasma ray" set to "obliterate", if his post is at the top of a thread, the entire thread disappears into the plasma hole.)

That's why I mentioned my doubletake which resulted in my checking your "member since" date (I was wondering if he'd morphed back into FR), and may also have some bearing on P.V.'s comment.

Some E.U. adherents see the construct as some new champion to bludgeon the old academic line.

Wall Thornhill does get a little cutty..or cocky at times,
no doubt this rubs off on the new philo.

Stern at Goddard..the author I used for Io..was to show the reader here..that mainstream NASA/JPL are infact *well intune with E.U....
Stern is not likely to forward ...there see...articles like Wal,
E.U. is a new construct...
it must accept that it will be wrong on talking points and data.

There are guys forwarding Quantum electron jump between planets and orbitals...
and they are completely detatched from E.U...dont chum buddy with the clan for field support.

There are new views arrising..and certainly some of the old views will go to the waste paper basket.

E.U. does not have a lock on the transition of learning..no way.

Its a study which is in its infancy..and much time will be required to prove and validate construct.

My only interest is to invite the reader to access he E.U. observation...Halton Arps work too.
Certainly the ident of planets moving in orbital divergence ..and coupled to the mythology testimony is a point where the mainstream says.."I just can't go there".
That is prudent.
I have studied mythology exstensively...the is more than just Venus and Mars to mark.
NASA/JPL admit that there are Near Earth orbitors...some are in streams with computer regress study behind them..
they are viewed by NASA/JPL as possible origen to a moon that broke up...which means we could have had other moons near Earth.
Mythology gets a stay in the house pass on this...
The ancient testimony of the Prosolenes ..the Roman.Greek records..of a people..who were..before there was a moon.
Tiahuanaco...also known as.."The city of the falling moon".

Certianly catastrophism has played a part in this blue sphere's history.
Clube and Napier..their super comet break up from say 20,000 yrs ago an attempt to define the blistered and scarred worlds we now find....
To Velikovsky's attempt to define the mythology testimony...of Mars and Venus.

There's a lot to wonder at.
On my part..I am only intersted in getting others to think about things..shop the store better.

No ranting...and fully aware of be criticised too.

I will allways be an interesting read...and that makes my day : )
