Wow. Lots of speculation, and no real answers, yet a lot of facts without a timeline to tie it all together.
..... And this is why we need MAN to step foot upon distant planets with the proper tools and a LIVE feed.
A proper geologist upon the surface of mars would easily start making distinct observations and chronologies supporting the evidence found. A geologist wouldn't look first upon a crater, he'd first look into canyons and study to local strata for clues as to which overlies which. His reading from various instruments would detect signatures that gave him clues he'd need to understand to the topography as well as the disbursement of the minerals.
Hug a tree?, fuck that, shake hands with a geologist and ask him what he sees and can explain to you.
Dr. Christian Shorrey from the Colorado institute of earth science has outstanding podcasts about earth history and mineralogy, you'd be far better learning from him than from NASA in my opinion. Subscribe and be enlightened to what we have here, then take what you know and place it with what we know about Mars.
You won't be sorry, it's a basic course of 80+ podcasts filled with mindfucking brilliance.
Quoting: Redpaw360 I followed your advice, got his email and wrote him: Dr. Christian Shorey I'm XXXX writing from YYYYY and someone told me I could learn more with you than asking questions to people at NASA. My question doesn't deal with earth but Mars. I have wondered what minerals or rocks could create fluorescence during pre-dawn which is still dark on Mars. It's a difficult question because maybe we are dealing with any among 500 minerals! I am interested in the blue glow as lit by UV light. Could be chlorophane or fluorite, calcite from mercury mines. This link indicates Martian pyrite maybe with UNUSUAL crystallisation: [ link to www.phys.uregina.ca] Yet,maybe pyrite has yellow glow. Red hematite could glow blue lit by UV? Silica in varnish-like coating? Copper compounds? Benitoite? Then someone said PLUTONIUM and made me think. Mars maybe covered with a layer of uranium (in this case the glow would be yellow-green), cesium 157, xenon 129 would be blue glow but the gas is excited by electrical discharge in this case. Could it be thorium or radioactive potassium? Then because of that info I started to search and ended up with this information about a natural NUKE BLAST on Mars, the one who wrote that has an impressive background,he's not an amateur, Dr. John Brandenburg: [ link to www.arkcode.com] [ link to www.foxnews.com] Problem is we depend on NASA wavelenght, yet infrared images and hyperspectral images indicate incredible reflectivity in this area: [ link to keithlaney.net] My question is objective and related specifically about reflectivity and not what it looks like. And my question is done because other geologist's tests FAILED: [ link to keithlaney.net] Perhaps you are bombed with questions, so even if your response is brief I would appreciate. Thanks and best regards! OH MY FUCKING GOD, IM SERIOUSLY LAUGHING SO FUCKING OUTLOUD. BA ha ahahaaa hahahhaaa. Ahahaaa. Can't breathe bahahhahaaaa I just personally want you to know that if I ever got an email like that, I'd fucking frame it. I'd reply to it, it might take me 2-3 days to decipher what it was you were asking, and then a few weeks contacting a few more people to see what their valued opinions were, and then a few days after that to write out a responsible reply.... But I'd be damned if I didn't print and frame that email to jumbo poster size and use it for a topic of conversation for entire semesters for years to come. What a classic email, that'll keep them neurons firing. You sir, win the EMAIL OF 2012 award. I'd buy you a drink and a hooker if I could, bless you. I told you he could answer, he wrote this to me: Hello X The minerals that could give a blue glow are: Albite, allophane, apatite(lavender), barite (lavender), benitoite, brucite, calcite, celestite, colemanite, creedite, dypingite, fluorite, gypsum, hardystonite (deep violet-blue), hedyphane (lavender), herderite, howlite, hydrozincite (lavender), karpatite, magnesite, margarite, microcline, pectolite, scapolite, sphalerite, strontianite, tyuyamunite, wavellite, witherite and wollastonite. Hope that helps,
