E você tem essas imagens detalhadas através de uma tempestade de poeira?

UAU!! Incrível como sempre, Avani!

And you got those detailed images through a Dust-Storm??

WOW!! Amazing as always, Avani!

Dave

 

Yeah, those are amazing pictures. I really do think the storm isn't so bad now.

 

Interesting! I just realized that the Dust-Storm is dissipating right after we've passed the peak of the opposition. Now this could indicate my theory of a Earth/Mars gravitational (minor, albeit) 'event' may be a trigger for setting these dust-storm's off(?).

Fascinating!

I was thinking about same thing a little bit more science fiction like, an alien gravitational stealth system to hide the planet and to make believe it's a gravitational issue.

MAN! that's weird

I rarely get coincidences like that in my life but whenever it's about alien life, it's like magic from children's book.

Yeah!

 

Well if it is "Aliens," it's possible they've learned to harness gravitational-energy - much like we are learning to harness Solar-Energy - and could use it anywhere to power anything from streetlamps to interstellar starships. It would make full sense to do this, if they have the technology to pull this off. After all, gravitational-waves are everywhere!

Now back to reality: I come from the world of nuts & bolts 'SCIENCE' as this is what I studied in my rather unique educational background ever since I grabbed the Encyclopedia Britannica Vol. 1 - 23 Aardvark - Zygote starting at age 4. I get the impression you came into astronomy from a different educational background. Though please correct me if I'm wrong.

What I'm getting at is that I often concoct theories on odd, long-haired theories like "Gravitational-Waves" and the many ways things could become involved. Like a Martian dust-storm!

But, hey! If you pulled what you said above from reading scifi - keep 'em coming! Look where you sent me spinning-off to!

 

It's probably not a coincidence that the last two nearest oppositions have had planet wide dust storms. I knew those pesky Zeta Reticulans had something to do with it.

 

Uh huh. And I suppose it was the Zeta Rets. who knocked Uranus on it's side?

Considering all the things you've attributed to them - I do believe you've found a God or other deity! When are you planning to build a temple to them?

 

@Dave In Vermont, I am not a scientist, I am a technician, a drafter, I draw plans, write indications and manage contractors. My everyday lift is an attempt at saving money for the tax payers.

I was interested in astronomy at first because of the Ancient Alien Programs, I wanted to inspect the sky with the goal of locating UFOs, started with binoculars then naturally, while looking at the starts, naturally, I wanted to learn the constellations and I thought everything was beautiful. Started to study to get a telescope, all by myself. I was not interested at what's happening at the astronomy clubs, because it was too focused on astrophotography and I had not enough liberty to use their site at will without attending lectures and various organized activities (which didn't interest me at all...) , I wanted to be a rogue stargazer following my own agenda and not be a part of any local federation.

So I got the 130mm newton (after the pair of binoculars) and I was amazed at being alone in the dark at night, I liked the challenge of searching and finding various things manually in the sky from my Celestron Atlas, just like a grandmother likes to do crosswords. Then I became proud of my knowledge of the sky like if it was a road map, I understood the subtlety of objects and their colors, the averted vision, etc.. has you know it's like a drug.

There was never any science involved in all my process!! I like too look at the stars and objects the same thing has I look at painting at the museum, but it's more then that it's the atmosphere, it's the tranquility, the absence of humans.

Then there was the sketching part that came along, creating the perfect hobby for me, has well has the love of using quality optics, it's connecting to the technician, handyman, creative part of me.

I was naturally interested in popular science news has most people are in astronomy but it's not my main driving force behind interest in astronomy. Has an uneducated person attracted to art and with inexistent science education, I naturally lean towards the ancient astronauts theorists to widely feed my imagination.

These subjects are forbidden on science forums but it's a great entertainment.

Mathematics are a sleeping pill for me, I admire what it can do, everything, but it's not my role in the world to harness mathematics, I am just a stargazer with imagination.

Science fiction is one of my favorite things.

I watched a good one yesterday called "Gattaca".

 

Desculpe pelo sequestro de discussão, eu tive que responder a @Dave In Vermont

Suas fotos são realmente impressionantes, eu não posso esperar para olhar para Marte sem tempestade de poeira.

Thanks for sharing!

 

Oddly, they disappear when I'm wearing my tinfoil hat. I blame the unbelievers!

Thanks, do you read these websites? @Mak the Night?

 

Yes, io9 modelled itself on the old Omni magazine, which was brilliant. Although I think io9 tends to cater to a different demographic now than it used to.

Ok I will have a look at the websites!
