Crossing the timelines: largely forgotten appearance of prototype HAL9000 monitoring the dancing in Singin’ in the Rain.

HiPOD: The Power of Erosion

The objective of this observation is to examine erosion where a valley encountered an obstacle. A deeper depression appears to have been created from that interaction.

Image cutout shows a large valley that is shallow in one part and deeper in the other. The valley extends from the bottom to the top of the scene. Some of the material within the valley is darker than the surrounding terrain.

The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

Cool photo down from Mars earlier today.
Lots of irregularly shaped chunks of rock, probably basalt, scattered throughout the scene that's predominantly made up of fine sand and pebbles.

HiPOD: Ridges in Arabia

The objective of this observation is to determine the nature of narrow ridges. They may be from faults produced during old impacts. If so, recent research suggests they may be related to clay deposits.

UK has lost its measles elimination status. #publichealth
ukhsa.bsky.social UK Health Security Agency @ukhsa.bsky.social · 9d
UKHSA responds to the confirmation from @WHO that the UK has lost its measles elimination status.

Read more from WHO here: https://bit.ly/3YZuOFa
Dr Vanessa Saliba, Consultant Epidemiologist at UKHSA, said: 'Infections can return quickly when childhood vaccine uptake falls; elimination is only possible if all children receive two MMRV doses before school. Older children and adults who missed vaccination must be caught up. The NHS is making vaccination easier, including offering the second MMRV dose earlier at a new 18-month appointment to boost uptake and support elimination goals.'

For no particular reason, here's a photo of some pebbles and a coarse-grained, small sand dune on Mars, photographed earlier today.

HiPOD: Wind Carved Rock

The distinctively fluted surface and elongated hills in this image in Medusae Fossae are caused by wind erosion of a soft fine-grained rock. Called yardangs, these features are aligned with the prevailing wind direction.

HiPOD: Dunes and Gullies

Two previous images at this site show dunes and gullies; this observation provides us a chance to reexamine both for changes. Dunes have slip face striations suggesting recent sand avalanches.

#Mars #NASA #science
Image cutout shows a large, tear-drop shaped slab of bedrock that is flanked by dark dunes on both sides. The top end of the bedrock slab, that rises above the flatter terrain, has gullies that run down to the flatter terrain. Enhanced color cutout show a closeup of the gullies. There are numerous small boulders in the scene, along with an exposure of light-toned bedrock.

Image cutout shows a group of barchan dunes with dark spots that are the result of sublimation, when a solid transform directly into a gas and disturbs the ground to expose the darker subsurface.

HiPOD: Ridges in Tempe Fossae

The objective of this observation is to determine the nature of ridges in this region. Some form pairs and others are just a bit wide. Their formation may have something to do with fissure eruptions.

Image cutout shows several very distinct and large ridges that form straight lines on the surface of Mars. The ridges are also very wide. There is a gap between one of the longer ridges and a shorter one, and there are numerous, shallow impact craters throughout the scene.

Show started as soon as we climbed above clouds &continued on& off during flight from Calgary to London.This was historical view from 37,000 feet over N Manitoba, Hudson Bay& Baffin Island in Canada.

HiPOD: Hills in Phlegra Montes

A previous observation shows polygonal and boulder-free areas, so part of our science objective is to get more coverage. Another science justification is to spot landing hazards like boulders.
