Hey, my country appears on the second photo!
Does that mean that I am a Martian?

What is the source of that image???
Now that I was discovered, I must return back in my ship powered by the Barsoomian eight ray.

Its all perfectly clear now.... ArMaP of Barsoom has a nice ring to it
That is a good one, if I show a photograph everybody will say it is "photoshoped" or that I am just a trick of the lights and shadows, and that the photo shows only rocks.
( now just TRY to prove you are human...)

That is pretty funny, actually.
Hey Orion....can you provide some context to that photo set?
Zorgon...can you explain that wierd photo that looks like the top of a tornado on mars back on the previous page?

About that "water" Zorgon, it has been puzzling me for a spell. I think it is very fine dust because there is no edge to the "water line"

Thing that fascinate me is the temperature of Phobos - on sunny side is 25F ( -4C), pretty nice temperature!?

It seems orion is the only one who sees the other oddities in the image.

Its funny you post that "boulder" on Phobos... I just found one two... on Eros an asteroid...
The asteroid is none other than 433 Eros, perhaps the single most important asteroid ever discovered. Found in 1898, Eros, because of its unique orbit and size, was eventually used to calculate the distance of the Astronomical Unit. For more than a century, it was the guide stone by which astronomers measured solar distances. The 33 km by 13 km potato-shaped rock has an orbit that crosses that of Mars, putting it in a special category of "Amor" class asteroids (asteroids that cross the orbit of Mars but not Earth). It is also the subject of a special NASA mission. The NEAR spacecraft is currently orbiting the asteroid and snapping dozens of images a day. On February 14th of this year (Valentine's Day) the first close up images of Eros came back to Earth and revealed a heart shaped crater near the South pole. And even though Eros was discovered more than a century ago, the go ahead for the NEAR mission was in the "Corbett" year of 1993. While NASA has admitted that they planned the February 14th rendezvous, we are expected to assume that the heart shaped crater is just another lucky coincidence and dismiss it.
........The large, rectangular boulder at the upper right is 45 meters (148 feet) across.".............................And the official NASA caption describes this highly regular, highly polished, multi-leveled and multi-faceted geometric object as ...: a 148-foot "rectangular boulder?".............................................
But it gets even better. In an interview with CNN, NEAR project scientist Andrew Cheng as much as admitted that the exploded planet Hypothesis was the source for Eros:
"Collected by the Near Earth Rendezvous spacecraft, some of the images show signs of geological layering, which suggests that Eros was once part of a much larger celestial body, said Andrew Cheng, a NEAR project scientist. "A plausible way that it (layering) happened is if Eros was once part of a larger body," Cheng said, "probably a planet-sized body that once broke up."
Like semipermanent pressure systems, migratory cyclones are not unique to the Earth. In the 1970's, the Viking orbiters documented the presence of similar storms on Mars.................................... Recorded by one of the Viking orbiters in the mid-1970's, the rotation of this Martian cyclonic storm (approximately 250 kilometers across) is governed by the same physics as terrestrial cyclones. The spiraling clouds are composed of water and water-ice, just as the clouds in Earth cyclones. False colors have been used to enhance the storm's features.
