Grand Canyon and Mars (déjà vu)

-Posted by D. Worth (US) for- M. Barbay (France)
Wow! An 8' leap for a better shot! here.
My intuition tells me that our sampler arrival on Mars will reveal 'subject composition' to further-explain the infamous Grand Canyon (crater!)

Mars Canyon & Global Surveyor

Video: Lovely canyons, great music, and glass "Skywalk" (for Mortals)
And even a couple of Indians at end of clip... :)

And look! Valles Marinerisis: Martian Valley -Video (New window)
A huge Mars canyon system about 2,000 miles long and 5 miles deep!

Wow, it (somehow) appears to hold an Indian signature. THEMIS imaging!

Mission controllers had raised the spacecraft's aerobraking orbit...
to study the unexpected motion of one of the Surveyor's solar panels.
They're martians after all...

UPDATE: This animated image shows Mars in motion (1999 to 2005.) Images from the Mars Orbiter Camera aboard the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft had documented dramatic changes in Mars south polar cap!

Teams will be examining polar changes after 2005...

NASA's Mars Landing (& classic footage)

-Posted by D. Worth (US) | for- M. Barbay (France)
We did it! Mankind lites upon Mars!!
NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander sped on Sunday morning toward its arrival at Mars, as the tug of the Red Planet's gravity accelerated the craft during the final day of its trip...
They're dancing at NASA Int'l! Slideshow!



The 422-million-mile flight from Earth to Mars,
set to land 5/25/08! -As of noon PDT today, Phoenix had 1.28 million miles left to travel!

The Phoenix mission is led by Smith at the University of Arizona with project management at JPL and development partnership at Lockheed Martin...Image: NASA -Mars weather!

International contributions from the Canadian Space Agency; the University of Neuchatel, Switzerland; the universities of Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark; Max Planck Institute, Germany; and the Finnish Meteorological Institute!

View animation of Sunday's landing! No trajectory correction needed: 5/24.

Phoenix Lander Update:
No Saturday Night Maneuver for Phoenix

Sunday at 4:53 p.m. Pacific Time is the first possible time for confirmation that Phoenix has landed. The landing would have happened 15 minutes earlier on Mars, but the radio signals take 15 minutes to travel from Mars to Earth at the distance separating the two planets today

I believe that this was touted long ago as a 2020 landing (haha)
The Int'l community of NASA are 'over-achievers!"

...And look at this classic footage released from NASA!
My goodness, they did an extreme video!

Stay tuned, and view Mars landing on: NASA- TV

Phoenix is getting about 2 million miles per gallon!
So says Brent Shockley, NASA's Phoenix Configuration
and Information Management Engineer...

Positive News (beyond the earth)

-Posted by D. Worth (US) | for- M. Barbay (France)
This little supernova, measured in earth's time-frame, is 140 yrs young! Discovered by NASA's Chandra X-ray; and announced mid May. She's the most recent supernova in our Galaxy. (92 yrs younger than America)
Hubble Heritage gallery: Here


And another look at a technology, already being mapped to develop!
It indicates 2057; but will likely be slightly beyond the next decade...
Given that destructive elements do not disrupt man's creative elements!
-From discovery channel series "2057" (worth another look)
Great Video!



And last... Jupiter in the Balance:
Jupiter's recent outbreak of red spots is likely related to large scale climate change. If the motion continues, the new spot will encounter the much larger storm system in August. [Scale]

The newest red spot is on the far left (west) along the same band of clouds as the Great Red Spot and is drifting toward it. Read more.

Plasma Universe: Petoglyph Theorists

Continuing study of vital functions within our galaxy, will help us to (perhaps) replicate, electrostatic sources of energy to aid our globe.

Note: NASA Imagery, but not NASA theory...

Video below integrates ancient science with electric cosmology; also seen in petroglyphs throughout history... Excellent trigger for insights which aid in research, toward renewable energy... 63 min... And worth the view.

Video: aurora clouds hover 30 min. before Sichuan Quake! Here
Recorded in Tianshui, Gansu province 450km northeast of epicenter.
(Via cell phone.)
As energy becomes concentrated it will begin to glow, sparking electrical discharge phenomena...If this is legitimate; a couple of theories persist:

Sightings prior to massive earth changes are quite common... One might explore the theory that earthquake lights are a form of plasma discharge caused by the release of gases from within the Earth and are electrically charged in the air...

Another theory involves intense electric fields created piezoelectrically by tectonic movements of rocks containing quartz...

Extraordinary Challenge of Everest (etc)

-Posted by D. Worth (US) | for- M. Barbay (France)
Goethe quote & image: peakfreaks.
"Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it! Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."


Great images and stories, as climbing truly strengthens spiritual bond of complete trust... Lovely site.

UPDATE! My Goodness! Sir Ranulph Fiennes tries his hand at Everest! VIDEO... He's "Buzzed" by Choppers from ITNsource Mountaineering, on his 3rd day... Here they trace him up the Ramp!
(The hard vertical ascent!) ...I'm impressed!
And here's extraordinary footage of another self-challenge!

Snowboard - Respect

Still away... Have a great and positive Day!
PS: A little more from the Everest climb at peakfreaks.
Wonderful Misic!
