Hi, I have noticed a light source above Mount Sharp on a picture taken by Curiosity in the Gale Crater. photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA16103I think that it can't be the sun as the shadows don't fit and the sun would be bigger. Does anybody have an idea of what it could be ? Eric Attachments:

Hello eric44, your light source could be an energy-signature of a dimensional object. The attached(1) has been spectorally down-shifted to bring out the energy signature of this object or craft. There is a definative central-sphere, quite blinding actually, surrounded and radiated by the 4 darker cross-lines ( vertical and horizontal ), which are countered by 4 fainter 45 degree offset ones. The ( pink ) appears a plasma discharge effect ... which may also account for the mystery-line in the pic? The surrounding lighter-green is the usual obfuscation effects, whereas the darker ( grey ) is a clearer ' sky ' as rendered through the more lightly applied layers. Funny, the light-sphere in the center, even though cut down, still leaves a significant after-glow in the eyes. These are just my personal views or ' opinion/s ' of course, but may it not be that you have actually spotted an advanced alien reconnaissance or surveying craft examining something (??) on Mars? Something to think about then ? -Morbius Attachments:

That is really strange. If the vertical line went all the way through the image it would be easy to explain as an image defect. The fact that it starts with a bright point and stops at a specific spot in the lower half of the image is just odd.

Hi, I found an other light source in this picture (red rectangle) less bright than the first as well as a dirk point (blue rectangle). The first light source is in the green rectangle. The light sources are difficult to explain and remain very intriguing but the dark points (there are several on the general picture) might be just some dust on the camera lens) Attachments:

Hi eric44... Your images reveal dust particles on lens. This is quite different to Ops post. The dust particles were caused by static and subsequent landing thrusters throw-up. They also occupy the same focal point on the image. The 'Light sourced image with fainter vertical streak' seems to lend itself to an imaging artifact. The direct right angle of streak and lack of depth to streak seems to give the game away. An interesting image but leaning towards imaging artifact from data presented so far. TW |

Could it be one of the moons? Daytime or not, Mars does have a thin atmosphere. Our moon is visible during daylight...

I think that Phobos or Deimos are not as bright and also Nasa would have probably said in the comments relatred to these pictures that Mar's satellites are visibles. You can see a picture of Phobos taken by Curiosity (in attachement) ... not very bright Attachments:

What do you mean by artifact ? 1. An object produced or shaped by human craft, especially a tool, weapon, or ornament of archaeological or historical interest. 2. Something viewed as a product of human conception or agency rather than an inherent element: "The very act of looking at a naked model was an artifact of male supremacy" (Philip Weiss). 3. A structure or feature not normally present but visible as a result of an external agent or action, such as one seen in a microscopic specimen after fixation, or in an image produced by radiology or electrocardiography. 4. An inaccurate observation, effect, or result, especially one resulting from the technology used in scientific investigation or from experimental error: The apparent pattern in the data was an artifact of the collection method. |
