APL-Built Mineral-Mapping Imager Begins Mission at Mars
JHU/APL For Immediate Release September 27, 2006 See also A.J.S. Rayl's story at TPS. EDIT: I changed the topic title because, as I understand it from the press release, the cover was opened, not jettisoned. This post has been edited by AlexBlackwell: Sep 28 2006, 04:48 PM |

Correct me if I'm wrong ,Nili fossae like other fracture systems,seem to be associated with tectonic areas,in this case with Syrtis Major. Would it be right to assume that water flowing along this fracture system would have been water runoff associated with volcanic eruptions from Syrtis major?Certainly that would not mean that the presence of clay formations in this area would mean that there was an ongoing hydrological cycle on Mars!Right or wrong?I am assuming that volcanic eruptions were episodic and thus water flowing within the fractures would have been episodic rather than water pooling for long periods of time!Any comments regarding this matter would be much appreciated.
