New HiRISE Image Reveals Dunes of the Southern Highlands of Mars

By -

This recently discharged picture from HiRISE indicates sand hills in the Southern side of the equator of Mars.

Sand rises are scattered crosswise over Mars and one of the bigger populaces exists in the Southern side of the equator, only west of the Hellas affect bowl. The Hellespontus locale highlights various accumulations of dim, ridge arrangements that gather both inside despondencies, for example, cavities, and among "additional pit" fields zones.

This picture shows the center segment of a substantial rise field made principally out of sickle formed "barchan" hills. Here, the precarious, sunlit side of the ridge, called a slip confront, shows the down-twist side of the hill and heading of its relocation. Other long, limit direct rises known as "seif" hills are likewise here and in different regions toward the east.

NB: "Seif" originates from the Arabic word signifying "sword."

The guide is anticipated here at a size of 25 centimeters (9.8 inches) per pixel. [The unique picture scale is 25.5 centimeters (10 inches) per pixel (with 1 x 1 binning); protests on the request of 77 centimeters (30.3 inches) crosswise over are resolved.] North is up.

In a couple of interesting briefings last week, BlackBerry announced that its turnaround was finished, and Microsoft finally provided some information on its new connected car deliverables. One strange thing was that after CEO John Chen excitedly pointed out that BlackBerry had displaced Microsoft in Ford, he then announced a strategic initiative to work more closely with Microsoft's Azure platform on BlackBerry's own market-leading  QNX  car operating system. That showcased not only the massive changes in both companies, but also the really strange way this market is evolving. I'll close with my product of the week: a very low-cost wearable smartphone display that could get you through your next dentist appointment or boring sermon. BlackBerry's QNX With all the focus on the coming autonomous car and on BlackBerry's old phone business, most don't know that QNX, the operating system that BlackBerry acquired, is dominant in the car market, largely...

NASA Data Suggests “Dry Ice” Snowfall on Mars

Utilizing information from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, researchers have recognized carbon-dioxide snow mists on Mars and proof of carbon-dioxide snow tumbling to the surface. Pasadena, California — NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter information have given researchers the clearest prove yet of carbon-dioxide snowfalls on Mars. This uncovers the main known case of carbon-dioxide snow falling anyplace in our nearby planetary group. Solidified carbon dioxide, otherwise called "dry ice," requires temperatures of about short 193 degrees Fahrenheit (less 125 Celsius), which is much colder than required for solidifying water. Carbon-dioxide snow reminds researchers that albeit a few sections of Mars may look very Earth-like, the Red Planet is altogether different. The report is being distributed in the Journal of Geophysical Research. "These are the main authoritative identifications of carbon-dioxide snow mists," said the report's lead creator...
