Who Are You Going to Believe - Me or Your Own Eyes
Why Are European Space Agency Images Better?

EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY (ESA) photos are showing blue river like canyons and valleys on Mars. These blue areas appear to be caused by possibly flowing rivers or colors retained from water that once flowed or perhaps growing algae or bacteria. Blue is also shown inside some craters. On Earth Lapis Lazuli, Blue Viteral, and the dark blue azurite is a hydrated copper carbonate indicating water. Photosynthesis pigments, and copper bearing minerals often show blue or green colors. Photosynthesis is the formation of carbohydrates in living plants from water and carbon dioxide by the AcTion of sunlight on the chlorophyll. The blue color now being shown by ESA is a major step forward in revealing the true nature of Mars and that at least some water is present. In Western Australia stromatolites are layered rocks that form in the presence of colonies of blue-green bacteria. As sediments accumulate, they include the remnants of the bacterial corpses, which give the rock the distinctive appearance. It is doubtful that blue mineral deposits would follow the apparent riverbed so living organisms such as bacteria; algae, lichen might be responsible for the blue color. SAtellite of Earth seldom shows blue colors unless water is involved.

ESA is showing pronounced blue colors that have not been shown in NASA/JPL/MSSS photos further indicating that some kind of false coloring methods are being used. Blue color images become extremely important in proving that life exists or once existed on Mars. Many of the rocks if shown in their real colors show green patches of color indicating lichen or fungi. It appears the carbon dioxide content of the Martian atmosphere is replenished by an active microbial ecosystem. Mars organisms may be very efficient rock eaters, as evidenced by the numerous holes or pits in the rocks at the

This perspective image, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, shows the central part of the 4000-kilometre long Valles Marineris canyon on Mars. The HRSC obtained this image during during orbits 334 and 360, on 24 April and 2 May 2004 respectively, with a resolution of approximately 21 metres per pixel for the earlier orbit and 30 metres per pixel for the latter.

Is it just me or are all the European space agencies pictures better than nasa's? Even though we dont have the cash that nasa does

*Crosses fingers* Please be water please be water

The ESA rules:tease: :surrender :laugh:
The camera that spotted evidence of water in gullies on Mars has a set of eyes that boggles the imagination.
Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Express spacecraft

Even from an orbital height of 235 miles (378 kilometers), the camera can spot objects as small as 3 yards (2.7 meters) across.

lol, Thats awesome, I no longer trust any american company now i have the ESA

another good find captain

Usually most modern sattellites around Earth can read news-paper small print too. In the 1960's only bigger text could be read, only headlines.

There good dude, but i don't think their that good

I thought that the pictures were taken in black/white, sent to earth, and then coloured by advanced computerprograms to make the pictures look more interesting. This of course to save on transmission time of the pictures themselves. I mean in general Mars shots, not these pics from ESA.

Striking new images of the Red Planet have raised hopes life could be found on Mars after all.

Scientists say they have photographic evidence that suggests liquid water may have been on the planet as little as five years ago.

Experts last night said Mars now appears more active than previously thought and the latest study shows why it is vital to continue to search for life on our planetary neighbour.

The first images of Mars' surface were taken in the 1960s and they suggested it was a dusty, cratered world rather like our Moon.

Now a new set of photographs has suggested that liquid water may have flowed on the planet a mere five years ago.

The discovery resulted from images taken by the Mars Global Surveyor which first recorded gullies and trenches that could have been made by fast-flowing water coursing down cliffs and crater walls.

Scientists in the USA decided to retake images of the gullies to search for any sign of recent activity.

Two of those originally photographed in 1999 and 2001 then photographed again in 2004 and 2005 showed changes consistent with water having flowed down the side of the crater. The discovery was made by scientists at the San Diego-based Malin Space Systems which operated a camera aboard the spacecraft.

Writing in the journal Science, the researchers led by Michael Malin said the properties and settings of the deposits in the gullies are consistent with water flow.

Expert Bruce Jakosky, of the University of Colorado at Boulder, said the study "underscores the importance of searching for life on Mars, either present or past.

"It's one more reason to think that life could be there," he added.

However Oded Aharonson of the California Institute of Technology urged caution over the findings.

He said the interpretation of the images as water activity was 'compelling' but only one explanation.

Until now the question of liquid water has mainly focused on ancient Mars and on the Martian north pole, where water ice has been detected.

Water along with a stable source of heat is essential for life to emerge.

Mars formed more than 4.5 billion years ago and scientists generally believe it went through an early wet and warm era that ended after 1.5 billion to 2.5 billion years, leaving the planet extremely dry and cold.

Water cannot remain a liquid for long because of subzero surface temperatures and low atmospheric pressure that would turn water into ice or gas.

But some studies have pointed to the possibility of liquid water flowing briefly on the surface through a possible underground water source that periodically shoots up.

CS....that photo could very well be a landslide.....and remember it could also be a liquid with a lower freezing temp than water...(liquid methane), however that is not a constantly flowing area...(its not a stream or river)....I'd say that mars once had a similar atmosphere to earth...then mars lost her atmosphere and became a dead world for indigenuos life.

Castle-Bravo 354 ,i think that you don't see and read;the pictures that is obvious that is not a river like here on Earth is just the ice melting in the pole the water create a stream of water and they called River Leah.And of course is water not metane.

CS...I see and read just fine...I was just commenting on the landslide in your post....what ever liquid made it isn't enough for life....though I have no doubt that life once did exist on Mars...before it lost its atmosphere.

is this more evidence to suggest that NASA are covering things up?
