Looks a hell of a lot like a Martian seep. Mac ... http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/news/press-release-details.cfm?newsID=583 ... Mac Tonnies <macbot@...> ...
if the impact creates a huge cloud visible to the naked eye here on earth thereby unequivocally making this a very dirty snowball, will he gracefully...
Well, there it is kids. Ice on the surface WITHOUT a layer of insulationg crud covering it. File attached... JD Sunlight On An Icy Martian Crater From the June...
Very nice photo, good post. It does say that the ice is in the shade and that is what keeps it from disipating into the thin atmosphere. Just as many suspected...
... I haven't seen Van Flandern do a lot of conspiracy mongering. From what I've seen in his Meta Research reports, he admits when his theory needs retooling ...
Fantastic post! What is the origin of that water ice? Coming from subterranean or seeps? Remains of a comet fall? Approx. calculation of the water mass:...
Well that's good I was afraid it'll would be another RCH reaction to a disproven theory. Certainly we all put out theories based on whatever observations and...
Not sure about the method you propose. Of course there's nothing better than "ground truth" when seeking a definitive answer. The probe is hurtling toward...
... While calculating the exact scenario would take supercomputer modeling, basic physics does show limits on what the it would do. There has been about 10...
Wow, that is a great pic! There's been a lot of argument over whether or not ice can exist for any period of time on mars surface without quickly sublimating. ...
My pet theory for seep formation (granted that they are water related:) is that they are formed from underlying ice, most probably frozen water tables and...
After writing the e-mail E, I started to think more seriously about the seeps. 1. If they are water seeps, the dark color suggests that the water is in a...
The only thing that would challenge the liquid water assumption is that it is much colder on Mars than it is here, so it may or may not work that way. If it...
I don't know if ambient atmospheric temperature has any effect in ice that deep. I also think that ice has somewhat of an insulating value (ie igloo homes) as...
Then you must be implying some sort of heating source under the ice. Friction through movement is one possibilty and geothermal activity is another, but if the...
Thats true, glacial movement caused by gravity creates friction which then melts the bottom layer, if it is static then no friction. Still, the temperature at...
Good point(s) E. Have there been any data collected that suggests there is any geothermal activity on Mars now? Any seismic data or any magnetic field to speak...
The prevalent theory of seep formation as forwarded by NASA..is that they are all dust flow related:) The MIT researchers who looked into this had an...
I can't say. However, it should become clear to you self proclaimed Mars Pundits that the water pooled in the crater WAAAY long after the "Martian Apocalyse". ...
There is no evidence that Mars has any activity at all. Though Mars Express did detect a faint Borealis which indicates a small magnetic field. But to all...

Of course they do, it would be nice to see just how much sunlight this deposit gets throughout the year though. There also seems to be a great deal of water...
That's what I thought, there seems to have been no volcanic activity of any kind for millions of years. If that's true, then some of the theories regarding ice...
Could have been a dirty snowball crash site from a few million years ago and 90 percent of it is gone now, who knows at this point in time. Let's all hope that...
Thanks Efain that all seems reasonable, but I don't understand how water can seep into the surface soil without evaporating into the atmosphere immediately or ...
Part of theorizing water doing anything at all in a liquid form is for the water to have additives that both lowers the freezing point and also adds a...
