NEWS SPAZIO :- Nel Gennaio scorso avevamo lasciato il Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity sul bordo occidentale del cratere Santa Maria, come potete constatare dal precedente post

http://newsspazio.blogspot.com/2011/01/il-rover-marziano-opportunity-il.html

Ebbene, dopo tre mesi di analisi delle rocce che ha incontrato il piccolo rover è quasi pronto a riprendere il proprio cammino verso il grande cratere Endeavour .

But Mars' orbit, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter experiment with telescopic camera HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) Opportunity has photographed in this wonderful picture (see the arrow).




The photo above was taken on March 1, 2011 (2524 ° Sol, or Martian day into the mission) and "Oppy" was extending its robotic arm to take pictures from a close rock named "Ruiz Garcia."

In the top are clearly distinguishable traces left by the rover to the west on their way to the crater Santa Maria, whose diameter is about 90 meters.

From the surface, the view is very different. Here, at the same location as Ruiz Garcia was taken on the same day by the hazard-avoidance camera front of the robot.

And here we have the details of Garcia captured by the Microscopic Imager (see it on top of the robotic arm in the photo above)

Tracce di vita extraterrestre? Le bufale dei media ufficiali!

SPACE NEWS: - I keep talking about the news concerning the alleged discovery of traces of life inside of meteorites by a NASA scientist. Here is the post dedicated

http://newsspazio.blogspot.com/2011/03/tracce-di-vita-extraterrestre.html

I talk to still get in guardia da una certa stampa di mezzo mondo che (come al solito purtroppo) non aspettava altro per tuffarsi a capofitto in questa notizia per creare lo scoop della vita extraterrestre.

Rimaniamo in casa nostra ed andiamo a vedere una storica testata giornalistica.

Sul sito web de La Stampa troneggia questo bel titolone

"Nasa, Ci sono tracce di vita nello spazio"

Leggendo l'articolo salta subito all'occhio che la vicenda è descritta COME SE fosse stato now all shown. The contents are presented as fact and not as an assertion that wait for confirmation or refutation by the scientific community. Starting from the title.

Excerpts from "significant"

"Astrobiology [...] discovered forms of life ..."

"The fossils were discovered in three meteorites ..."

clarify immediately. There is still no confirmation of the scientific community. In addition, the title written in this way suggests that NASA to communicate the presence of fossil life in meteorites. Nothing could be further from the truth.
a minimum of research by the author would certainly led to discover what is the position of NASA (described in my post above), absolutely balanced and "scientifically-correct".

In short, what I have read in La Stampa is not the product of a healthy desire to inform, rather than the usual result towards making scoop. And this, again, is NOT science.

So I would say that this article deserves to come right in the blog section dedicated to "Authoritative oversights."
