Sorry but you can There are enough people out there who speak science who can catch out the fakes And they do exist but usually not for long
Oh! I have done it. Not formally but anyone with even a modicum of training can recognise scientific fakes. Climate change denialism was and still is full of fake scientific reports.
Cool! Not to detract from Mars, but there is a fairly recent finding on Mercury that hits me as totally amazing. Mercury has an impact crater that is about the largest one in the solar system. And, directly opposite of that impact is a unique area of built up and rumpled terrain. Scientists working on this think the energy of the impact echoed to the antipode and lifted that area! It would have been helped by the fact that Mercury is almost a perfect sphere (unlike Earth). Plus, one wonders what it's core is like. It will be interesting to see what Europe and Japan find with their joint trip to the planet - with two satellites glued together on top of one launch vehicle launched earlier this month. Unfortunately, it will take 7 years to get to Mercury.
Actually, Bowerbird, those straight lines you see going across the top of that picture are stone fences made in old times to separate grazing pasture. I'm not sure if that's what you were referring to. The length going along the cliff doesn't seem all that straight.
You make it sound like an away-day to the Coney Island boardwalk! 'it will take 7 years to get to Mercury', by which time everyone will have forgotten about it. FFS this gullibility from adults with full-developed brains is soo depressing.
Well it was worth a try. There are straight things in nature - there, I've admitted it. I can't be right all the time!
It was probably a bit of space junk. Anyhoo, I wonder if 'Parker' ( ) is a blob of molten metal yet? I can't believe anyone with a developed brain can buy into this ridiculous chewing-for-the-brain space babble! As they say - it takes all sorts! I see the latest is a thirty-meter mega-space telescope in Hawaii called . . . wait for it - Thirty Meter Telescope. Is that imaginative, or what? I mean, how many bloody mega-telescopes do they need anyways? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-46046864 Oh and "(ESA) Scientists see huge cloud coming out of Mars" Whatever could it be?? Honestly, this crap is never-ending . . . and some of us know why? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...cloud-latest-surface-red-planet-a8610966.html
Volcano erupts on Mars Really interesting image. I've looked at pictures of Mars for years, and never say anything quite like this. Having that amount of density combined with the arrow straight shape for such a long distance IS unique. The photos NASA offered of previous clouds in that same region lacked both the density and the straight shape over long distances. I'm not dismissing NASA's explanation, but the object certainly qualifies as a weird, possibly unique structure, and certainly one worthy of our attention. I'd also note that generally volcanic eruptions result in at least one of two outcomes. Either hot lava shows up at the surface where the clouds originate, or there's an actual eruption with lava and/or ash being blown out or flowing from the volcanic vents. None of these is apparent in the mars cloud photos, so that lends credence to the NASA explanation. At any rate, Mars continues to titillate our curiosity.
I will not believe that was how it was dug out of the ground. I have no explanation, but of that I'm certain.
Nothing to do with scientific knowledge, it's about logical analysis. This so-called 'mission' will be forgotten about long before 7 years is up. Do you think that in 7 years time you'll find yourself thinking 'I wonder if that probe got to Mercury?' Of course you won't! Even in the unlikely event that you did, I'd wonder why the hell you cared.
