Since yesterday, new color Navcam images are coming in again from Perseverance Rover after Mars reappeared out of the area of Sun interferences during the solar conjunction. Monochrome images were already received since a few days earlier.

My new article: Monumental Alignments to the Heliacal Rise of Sirius It's on X, but everyone can read it, no account needed: x.com/areoinfo/sta...

Somehow it didn't tunnel through to me and I completely missed last year's big event 100 years of Quantum Physics. A practical application wasn't found yet and ... 📷 quantum2025.org

Heliacal Rise for iPhone and iPad is now released in v1.1.0 with many improvements: apps.apple.com/us/app/helia... The horizon overlay on the camera view shows where the star Sirius appears for the first time during each year at any location on Earth. Also the exact time of the Sirius ...

Photos from the ISS mission ISS071 during the April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse showing the Sun during the partial phase actually exist! Accessible as preview images on the great website issinrealtime.org and then downloadable in full resolution from eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos (15:47 - 16:10)...

What a great ISS International Space Station website! issinrealtime.org makes the whole public radio channels transcriptions accessible for any day at any time and shows the photos taken during the timeline and the tasks handled by the crew. Intro video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=niRd...

Limb Darkening of the Sun is not well explained by the standard model of astrophysics. In these photos from India's Aditya-L1 SUIT, the darkening towards the outer border is clearly visible, stronger in shorter UV wavelengths... 📷 www.isro.gov.in/Aditya_L1_SU...

The standard model of astrophysics says, the thermal radiation curve measured by satellites around Earth was originally created by hot gas during the Big Bang at a time when no solid or liquid matter existed yet. The problem is: The closest replication of that curve... youtube.com/watch?v=bbeN...

As I couldn't find yet the new planned atmospheric Earth entry trajectory for Artemis 2, here a paper about the options for capsules. Latest NASA report from this week stated to plan a 8 minute lifted deceleration phase instead of the 14 minutes skipped entry flown with Artemis 1 and Apollo 4...

In the series about solar system peculiarities, another one: At 19.5° latitude, the largest volcanoes can be found on Earth, Mars and Venus, even the largest mountain on Earth when measured from the ocean floor next to it. On the very same latitude the Great Red Spot on Jupiter exists...

It's time again for the star Sirius to reach its yearly midnight culmination. Happens for any star on various days, but only for Sirius on midnight into the new year. Before the year 2000, it was several minutes off. So the beginning of the year in the Gregorian Calendar is marked by Sirius...

Scientific lunar peculiarities: * The Moon's and Sun's axial rotation match in some way: The lunar axial rotation period in relation to the stars is 27.3 days. The Sun's surface rotates once around in 27.3 days exactly in the middle between equator and pole... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_r...

Great stormy talk by Robert Zubrin! Worth to watch by anyone needing motivation for human spaceflight or wondering what can be improved to finally get humans to Mars. Quote highlights: His favorite of 2025 is the progress of Starship and apparently not "doge punks" ... youtube.com/watch?v=dvyo...

Continuing about Prof. Pierre-Marie Robitaille, UHF-MRI inventor, the high resolution MRI scanner: His findings during the work on this, where ignoring predictions by quantum physics was key for success, directed him later into astrophysics, specifically the standard central core fusion Sun model...

Ever heard about Prof. Pierre-Marie Robitaille, inventor of medical UHF-MRI? Before he and his team built the first machine 25 years ago, academic science considered it to be impossible as it was said to need dangerous high energy levels in the EM fields, causing too much heat in the human body...

My new app Heliacal Rise is now available in the iPhone / iPad app store: apps.apple.com/us/app/helia... It indicates with an interactive compass view where at the horizon the star Sirius appears for the first time during each year at any location on Earth, its Heliacal Rising

With the Watson camera on the robotic arm the front lenses of SuperCam, the Navcam pair and Mastcam-Z pair were investigated about dust contamination. Also the front Hazcam pair and its spare pair. Mission day 1711, 2 days ago, NASA Mars Perseverance Rover. More images: areo.info/mars20/ecams...

Wheel tracks left by Perseverance Rover while climbing down Jezero Crater rim visible in the distance in photos taken yesterday and the day before, mission days 1709 and 1710. More images and better in HDR when viewed in Chrome on Macbooks or with the areoHDR app on iPhone: areo.info/mars20/ecams...

The astronomical Equation of Time for Earth represented as 3d object. It's the small daily variation in observed solar time towards towards a constant clock. The change along the vertical axis is supposedly the expected effect during 10000 Earth years of the 26000 year period of the Great Year.

Those tiny sand dunes on Mars in front of the half meter diameter wheels are actually moved around today by the local wind with being heaped up from fine dust. But the larger ones next to them are permanent and have a hardened surface the rover sometimes breaks through. 📷 areo.info/mars20/ecams...

Sand grains with central holes in them can be found in this image by Perseverance Rover on Mars. Grainsize most likely 3mm. 2nd img Earth: concretions from cyanobacteria. 3rd img Earth: eroded corals. 📷 areo.info/mars20/ecams... and geo.mtu.edu/KeweenawGeoh... and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand

Some colorful Mars rocks with unusual scratches or gouges continuing through small pebbles. In HDR on areo.info/mars20/ecams... or with the areoHDR iPhone / iPad app the colors the colors are even better. Mission day 1600, August 20, 2025.

The sticky soil which glued like wet clay on the wheel inside and outside earlier this week on day 1688 may now be analyzed as I see they checked at least the ground in front of the rover. Unusual extremely black small grains can be seen in the 5cm diameter ground area areo.info/mars20/ecams...

The Perseverance Rover driver deserves an award for best shadow image planning :) Here's the rover head shadow looking at the sticky stuff glued inside the wheel rim it won't be able to analyze. Or can it? Day 1692 today. More images from that mission day: areo.info/mars20/ecams...

Weird triple correlation of the day: 1. At 178m above today's sea level a water wave erosion pattern at the Khafre Pyramid. 2. At the same elevation, whale skeletons can be found in the desert at Wadi Al Hitan. 3. At that elevated ocean level, the geographic center of all land on Earth is Giza...

About ionizing radiation effects on humans during a trip to Mars the Mars Matters channel provides great explanations and describes the 5 different sources of radiation in space in detail. Sending a tobacco smoker without cigarettes to Mars would even decrease his cancer risk. youtu.be/VluEllUrseE

Some group at NASA decided in 2021 for a 600 mSv career-long radiation dose limit for all their astronauts, disregarding biological diversity, age, and reproductive health effect differences! That's not science. 📷 nasa.gov/wp-content/u... and nationalacademies.org/news/2021/06...
