.Mars. - Enchonker Fred
Some may remember Fred from before, he was one of my first creations ever on SL so he is close to my heart & as we are yet again close to halloween I had to remap and retext him to give him clearer cheeks ya know, better skin, shinier eyes and a whole lot more magic.
I sent him out to everyone that purchased his old body :D
You can get him and all his colorful friends for 50L during this weeks Lazy Sunday Sale.
Check them out displayed at the .MARS. In-World STORE !

Il pianeta rosso adorna la costellazione del Toro, sorgendo ad est poco dopo Orione. L'Auriga, con la brillante stella Capella, la capretta, chiude questo improvvisato asterismo, mentre la costellazione del Perseo si avvia a conquistare lo Zenith, il punto più alto sull'orizzonte.

I know that I am a bit late to the party, but here is my take of the close encounter of Mars with the Pleiades open cluster.
I would have loved to shoot this as a deepscape from a dark sky location with some nice landscape in the foreground, but first I was clouded out and when it finally cleared, I had to fly the other day and was only able to shoot from my light polluted backyard.
Sometimes, you have to take what you can, even if it means to shoot a reflection nebula under a bortle 5 sky. Hope I will have better conditions in 17 years, when this encounter will happen again.

Mauna Kea (white mountain) is the tallest mountain in the world when measured from base to summit, since its base is located on the seafloor about 19,000 feet (5,800 m) beneath the Pacific Ocean, bringing its total height to 33,000 ft (10,000 m).
The summit is approximately 40% of Earth's atmosphere and 90% of the water vapor, allowing for exceptionally clear images of the night sky. Additionally, the peak is well above the inversion layer, allowing up to 300 clear nights per year
Considered to be one of the best astronomical sites in the world, it is home to many of the world's best and leading astronomical observatories.
--
The last 6 mile road to the summit (elevation 13,796 ft / 4,205 m) is unpaved, rough, steep, winding, dangerous and insane with no barriers to the cliffs
It's a road for a 4wd vehicle, and I was driving a rental 2wd Chevy Malibu
Poor rental car, she changed color from white to dark brown, and I'm lucky the tire did not explode, or fall off the cliff.
Got pretty tipsy from altitude sickness when I took this shot because I drove straight from sea level to the summit in 1 hour. There's a lot of Wēkiu bugs and ladybugs there.. creepy
It's too bad because I do not have the chance to shoot here at sunset/sunrise :(

Right so, okay.
This is a little awkward.
Uh... Guys, I'm goina be off Flickr indefinitely for a while.
I'm hoping to come back. (Haha :D I'm pretty sure I'm coming back! But that sounded more dramatic :P)
I'll be stopping my 100 Days for a bit right now, but if I do come back, I'll start it again.
I love you all, for all your comments and your support through everything, the testimonials, Every single minute effing thing. <3
You guys are a bunch of pretty awesome friends, believe me.
Dang I'll miss ya'll. <333
Nothing else to say right now, my heart's down and loaded with everything, and my face is :|
Yup.. it's literally that right now :D
<333
So anyways, you guys keep clicking.
Bye. <3
.... Liquid water runs down canyons and crater walls over the summer months on Mars, according to researchers who say the discovery raises the chances of being home to some form of life....
It is a little known fact that a small company in Portland on Victoria's south coast actually leads the world in inter-planetary transport and mining. Here, piles of Martian ore can be seen awaiting processing, while in the foreground, one of the Martian transporters can be seen ready to launch (Thunderbird 2 style) back to the red planet for another load of ore.
Apparently, the ore is actually edible - soon to be used in products like Mars bars, Marscapone cheese, Mars(h)mallows, Marzipan etc.
You may wish to check some of these facts. The source of this information (a slightly deluded imagination) cannot readily be trusted! ; )
Happy Slider Sunday!

The hill of Mars or Ares, better known by the name of Areopagus, of which hill of Mars or Ares is a translation. The Areopagus was a rocky height in Athens, opposite the western end of the Acropolis. It rises gradually from the northern end, and terminates abruptly on the south, over against the Acropolis, at which point it is about fifty or sixty feet above the valley. The spot is memorable as the place of meeting of the Council of Areopagus. This body existed as a criminal tribunal before the time of Solon, and was the most ancient and venerable of all the Athenian courts. It consisted of all persons who had held the office of archon, and who were members of the council for life unless expelled for misconduct. Before the time of Solon the court tried only cases of willful murder, wounding, poison, and arson: but he gave it extensive powers of a censorial and political nature. The council continued to exist even under the Roman emperors. Its meetings were held on the southeastern summit of the rock. The Areopagus possesses peculiar interest to the Christian as the spot from which St. Paul delivered his memorable address to the men of Athens.

The Porte de Mars is an ancient Roman triumphal arch in Reims, France. It dates from the third century AD, and was the widest arch in the Roman world.
The Arch is 32 metres long and 13 metres high. It was named after a nearby temple to Mars. The arch has many highly detailed carvings on its exterior and on the ceilings of its three passageways. Local folklore says that the inhabitants of Rheims built the arch in gratitude when the Romans brought major roads through their city. It served as a city gate until 1544. In 1817, the buildings around it were removed, bringing the arch into full view.

About 1.5 degrees separate the pair. 9:44pm PDT. Canon T6i with William Optics Redcat. Mars near its closest approach, still smaller than the moon!
I thought I was orbiting Mars when I saw this view! No cloud in sight and the red and ochre colours stretching to the horizon. This is how I imagine the Perseverance rover would have seen Mars on its approach to landing. A huge shout-out to the NASA teams that flew a helicopter on Mars and also the French teams that recorded the flight with audio! Mars exploration is hard but we are making enormous progress. China landed its Zhurong rover on Mars too, becoming only the second nation to do so successfully. ESA's ExoMars TGO mission is orbiting Mars and the ExoMars rover is set for launch next year. Mars robotic exploration and human exploration go hand in hand: exploring farther and extending human presence. Scientists believe Mars was once a very different planet and its environment changed over billions of years, learning more about its history can help us protect our future on our amazing home planet. ESA and NASA are teaming up to bring pieces of Mars to Earth this decade too!
Lors d’un passage somme toute assez banal au-dessus de l’immensité du Sahara, je me suis cru sur Mars !! Pas un nuage, du rouge et de l’ocre à perte de vue… on s’y croirait, un peu comme Perseverance en ce moment avec son hélicoptère embarqué. Un immense bravo à la NASA qui a fait voler récemment le premier drone sur Mars ! Le bruit de ses hélices a été enregistré par la caméra super-polyvalente SuperCam du rover. Un instrument français 🇫🇷 fourni par l’IRAP @cnrs avec le soutien du CNES 👍. L’exploration spatiale robotique et habitée sont les deux branches d'une même ambition profondément humaine : celle qui nous pousse à explorer toujours plus loin.

Actually, no.
After traipsing around likely local areas by a canal I returned to the back garden for a barbecue chimney starter with not as much rust as you might imagine from this intriguing square centimetre or so.

This is a night photograph of what I believe is Venus and Mars as they passed each other in the night sky. According to the time tables for the night sky right now where I live, Venus and Mars are my best guess for what i was seeing. One bright white light with a little ball of red next to it. Taken with a cell phone camera. HDR and brightness added.

Statuette of Mars Cobannus, Gallo-Roman, A.D. 125-175
The statue is dressed as a Roman legionnaire in the second century, A.D and is dedicated to Cobannus, a Gallic god associated with Mars, the god of war. The Getty is slightly hesitant about its origins, suggesting it was found in France, in the Roman province of Gaul and would have been displayed in a local shrine of the Iuventus, a Roman youth organization.
