with a bit of contrast adjustment



doesn't look to much to me after the adjust , but I see the little mushroom on your cropped

Can you see the spot I enlightened? Bottom left...Is the florescent red spot a pixel thing?

"Florescent red spot"?

On a greyscale image?

indeed but an extremophile maybe able to work with minimal water or it maybe so extreme , like a cactus, being able to survive, we have many examples here on earth of cold blooded animals living in arid areas, living off morning dues some of them, something which may have been pointed out a few times in this thread , (markings on the rover)

Yes, I just think that, if things on Mars got more difficult in a relatively short time, it would be easier for life to adjust while following the conditions to which they were used, so if they were used to water they would follow it while adapting.

life finds a way , extinction events happen , *waves at the dinos* but the atmosphere didn't dwindle away for life back then , it wasn't as extremer change as it is the case for mars , if life was there before the cataclysm , and had to deal with harsher conditions , would the mutations be , equally as extreme , in its bid for survival ?

Maybe the thinner atmosphere would produce quicker evolution because of more mutations, I know nothing about that.

would be interesting to hear an expert opinion on this , does mars have an ozone layer ? is the bombardment of radiation from the sun in the extreme too?

Is this rock really toothy or is that stuff behind it?

Honest yes... I see fluorescent red spots. Guess my magnifying glass causes the effect.

Nope went back and opened picture again, I can still see the red with my bare eyes.

I don't think so, as ozone is a result of the transformation of oxygen by radiation or electricity discharge, and oxygen is not that common on Mars.

is the bombardment of radiation from the sun in the extreme too?

As the atmosphere is much thinner that the Earth's atmosphere, radiation is stronger, but Mars is also farther away from the Sun, getting less radiation.

Interesting rock fun but no mine was left some of that one.

Using a magnifying glass on a computer screen is asking for problems, as you will probably see the individual elements that make up the pixels, one element for each colour of the RGB system.

I never understood why people using magnifying lens on computer screens.

HAHA this is so funny! it was ON my screen.

That's why we couldn't see it.

The show said they changed, they used to eat.

Solar rays nourish essential, algae-like organisms called zooxanthellae, which live symbiotically in the jellies’ tissues and provide their hosts with energy as a byproduct of their photosynthesis

It is the best i can do and then I rely on everyone else to tell me is I am seeing what I think or not.

That makes more sense, it's the zooxanthellae that use the Sun.

Thanks for the interesting story.

I suppose it depends on how effective an atmosphere is at blocking the sun radiation.. and the magnetosphere ? doesn't this play a massive role in blocking solar radiation , how would these kind of radiation events effect an unprotected marsimal I wonder ?

No magnetosphere on Mars, at least as far as I know.

Only part of the radiation, ultraviolet light, for example, is not affected by the magnetosphere.

But once life establishes itself somewhere it does all it can to remain there, like those bacteria that live in Chernobyl and that use melanin to absorb the radiation like plants use chlorophyll.

The magnetosphere of Mars is far simpler and less extensive than that of the Earth. A magnetosphere is a kind of shield that prevents charged particles from reaching the planet surface. Since the particles borne by the solar wind through the Solar System are typically electrically charged, the magnetosphere acts as a protective shield against the solar wind.

Interesting one here
Almost every planet has a magnetosphere, from Earth to Jupiter to small Mercury. This tour explores the magnetosphere of Mars.

Weird 'Web' Found In Peruvian Amazon Baffles Scientists

A bizarre-looking web structure has been found in the Peruvian Amazon, and apparently nobody knows what it is, not even scientists.
