dude seeing these Mega high quality images of the surface of mars that we now have has me fucked up. Like. Mars is a place. mars is a real actual place where one could hypothetically stand. It is a physical place in the universe. ITS JUST OUT THERE LOOKING LIKE UH IDK A REGULAR OLD DESERT WITH LOTS OF ROCKS BUT ITS A WHOLE OTHER PLANET?Â
LIKE THIS JUST LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A PERSONâS BACKYARD. LIKE YEA A LITTLE DUSTY MAYBE THERE WAS A SANDSTORM BUT THATâS COOL IâM JUST GONNA WALK DOWN TO THE STORE P S Y C H YOUâRE ON MARS BICH!
i hate to be rude and intrude on this post but we have decent pictures of the surface Venus too!Â
So itâs not quite snowing on ChuryumovâGerasimenko, unfortunately; the white specks are artifacts of cosmic rays impinging on the CCDs in the camera, as well as a rotating starfield in the background (since the comet is spinning). A few specks could be dust. But, holy shit, thatâs the surface of a comet. Thatâs a spot you could in theory cling to for dear life sit down on. The Cliffs of Comet 76pare a place.Â
If that isnât the neatest shit I donât know what is.
