The Martian Enigmas by Mark J. Carlotto Pdf

On the surface of Mars lies a formation that looks remarkably like a humanoid face. Forever staring up into the vastness of space it has attracted our attention. Some think that that is why it is there, beckoning us to come and explore. Others believe that it is simply an odd looking geological landform - a formation carved over the ages by the random forces of nature. It is our imagination and our desire to find other forms of life in the universe that makes us see it as an intelligently crafted object. Opinions about the possibility of life on Mars have changed over the years from Percival Lowell's canals, to the dead planet image by the early Mariner missions to Mars, to the enormous volcanoes, great canyon systems, and channels carved by water seen by Mariner 9 and Viking. In the first edition of The Martian Enigmas, Dr. Mark J. Carlotto presented a detailed analysis of the controversial Viking photographs. The revised edition greatly expands on his early work and constains new research results that further supports the claim that these objects may be precisely what many scientists have sought for decades: the first hard evidence that we are not alone.

Dynamic Mars by Richard J. Soare,Susan J. Conway,Stephen M. Clifford Pdf

Dynamic Mars: Recent and Current Landscape Evolution of the Red Planet presents the latest observations, interpretations, and explanations of geological change at the surface or near-surface of this terrestrial body. These changes raise questions about a decades-old paradigm, formed largely in the aftermath of very coarse Mariner-mission imagery in the 1960s, suggesting that much of the interesting geological activity on Mars occurred deep in its past, eons ago. The book includes discussions of (1) Mars’ ever-changing atmosphere and the impact of this on the planet’s surface and near-surface; (2) the possible involvement of water in relatively new, if not contemporary, gully-like flows and slope streaks (i.e. recurring slope lineae); and (3) the identification of a broad suite of agents and processes (i.e. glacial, periglacial, aeolian, meteorological, volcanic, and meteoric) that are actively revising surface and near-surface landscapes, landforms, and features on a local, regional, and hemispheric scale. Highly illustrated and punctuated by data from the most recent Mars missions, Dynamic Mars is a valuable resource for all levels of research in the geological history of Mars, as well as of the three other terrestrial planets. Utilizes observational and model-based data as well as geological context to frame the understanding of the dynamic surface and near-surface of Mars Presents a broad spectrum of highly regarded experts and themes to discuss and evaluate the geological history of late and current Mars Includes extensive and detailed imagery to clearly illustrate these themes, discussions, and evaluations

Ices in the Solar-System by Richard Soare,Jean-Pierre Williams,Caitlin Ahrens,Frances Butcher,Mohamed Ramy El-Maarry Pdf

Ices in the Solar-System: A Volatile-Driven Journey from the Inner Solar System to its Far Reaches details the evolution of ice on planetary bodies within the Solar System, including terrestrial planets and the Moon, Ceres and other dwarf planets or volatile asteroids, icy Galilean and Saturnian satellites, Triton and disparate Uranian moons, and Pluto, other Kuyper belt objects and comets. The book provides a view of different ice types throughout the Solar System, i.e., H2O, CO2, CH4, etc., that characterize icy processes on disparate bodies. Ice and icy processes at micro through macro scales are discussed. The book geographically spans the major planetary bodies of the Solar System, covering surface and subsurface geologies, geophysics and geochemistry of ices to answer questions such as the nature and extent of water ice and different frozen volatile species, how do ices give us clues to interiors and oceans, and more. Presents a comprehensive discussion of icy bodies and processes throughout the Solar System and spanning all applicable planetary bodies Discusses ice at the micro-scale (i.e., post nebular origins) to the macro-scale, facilitating our understanding of icy processes and associated landscape evolution through multi-scalar perspectives Describes the disparate ices associated with the geological evolution of bodies large and small throughout the solar system, broadening the focus and highlighting landscape evolution derived of the disparate ice types

The Riddle of Mars, the Planet (Classic Reprint) by C. E. Housden Pdf

Excerpt from The Riddle of Mars, the Planet Early in 1913 the writer had the privilege of reading, at a meeting of the British Astronomical Association, a short paper, printed in their Journal for March of that year, on Mars and its Markings, ' in which some new points were advanced in sup port oi Prof. Lowell's by now well-known views with regard to the artificial character of two of the minor markings, designated by him its canals and oases, to be seen on the planet's disc, by suggesting inter alia that water is probably transmitted along the canals by being pumped through pipes under pressure, and explaining why and where a single canal or a double canal would be needed.
