Hope no one minds, but I felt we have to have a new topic, right from the start, as a compendium of all the Factual Observations on this incredible structure...this Mother Ship from another world...this...(who said Burgess Shale? I laughed at that at the time.
 ) Who will start us off with a detailed description of what we see before us TODAY February 5, 2006 - Super Sunday.(I'll be running from game to Exploratorium all afternoon!

 I hope we will have some time also to climb on top of Home Plate.Here are the names I gave to its 3 major albedo structures seen from orbit : a tribute much deserved to the 3 Home Plate discoverers : Dr. Nathalie Cabrol and Dr. Edmond Grin, not forgetting Gilles Dawidowicz, their intern student, who pintpointed Home Plate's interest from the very beginning !

QUOTE (Nirgal @ Feb 6 2006, 10:46 PM) hand-colorized Sol 744 "Home Plate" panorama and Sol 743 navcam "El-Dorado Looking Back" Navcam-Panorama: Bernhard, these are fantastic and puts it all in perspective that HP has suffered an extremely violent event(s). And the layering on the right will I hope be an early target before climbing up as well as the richly layered areas and tire like tracks towards the left. this is a dream come true for all. Not surprisingly, SS sure was fast this time with an update ken |
