NASA Spacecraft Photographs Avalanches on Mars

Re: A NASA spacecraft in orbit around Mars has taken the first ever image of active avalanches near the Red Planet's north pole. The image shows tan clouds billowing away from the foot of a towering slope, where ice and dust have just cascaded down.

That is either Algore Global Warming lie being found out... or Billary getting a stake through the heart in Texas and Ohio!

It was taken in the very northern pole region of the planet so just about any way you look at it you are looking down.

Man oh man you can see the bedrock then the layers above it... could be salt, not limestone. But NO PART of that pic looks volcanic. It’s oceanic fur sure! Wow!!

It’s a freakin disgrace we aren’t there yet. A disgrace.

Worm sign!

Best Dune line:

Stilgar - "Usul.....we have wormsign the likes of which God has never seen!"

Finally, some Martian action.

There’s another possibility I just thought of - the white strip might be - I reiterate “might” be...

ice.

[visualops]

yeah you’re right heh

......limestone......

Limestone involves water sediments.

Volcanic dust in stratified layers needs no water.

“Now, translate that from what I see now to a million years ago.”

Look at the Andromeda galaxy through binoculars.

Your are seeing the light from those stars as they were, millions of years ago.

It is all a simple matter of distance, and speed of light.

I know what limestone is.

I think the color betrays the volcanic dust idea. But we’re not there, so can’t say for sure.

Thank you that is so COOL!

Is that, like, "alien-on-alien" action?

Little green men are kinky, I'm not into that...

The article states that it was taken near the north pole, so I’m ‘assuming the white stuff is frozen CO2.

[djf]

Dry ice sublimates pretty easily. I doubt it could exist long at all at the pressures on Mars.

[uglybiker]

Those ice caps are made of somethin'!

If that’s the case it looks like snowboarders heaven.

But not if one believes in creation, for light was instantaneous.

“But not if one believes in creation, for light was instantaneous.”

Well then it would have to have been created to intentionally appear as old light. And the creation would have to have been done in such a way to be pre-aged by billions of years.

If that works for you great.

But that light IS old and from a very very distant source.

[djf]

I agree.

Like I said, maybe ice itself.
