Victoria is een inslagkrater gelegen op lengte 5,50°W en breedte 2.05°Z in Meridiani Planum aan de evenaar van Mars. Deze krater wordt sinds januari 2004 verkend door het Marswagentje Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. De krater is ongeveer 70 meter diep en 730 meter breed en daarmee bijna acht keer groter dan Endurance, die door Opportunity bezocht werd gedurende sols 95 tot 315. De naam is afkomstig van een van de schepen van Ferdinand Magellan: het eerste schip dat de wereld rondvoer.

De volgende video laat beelden zien van Mars die toch wel wijzen in de richting van leven op deze planeet.
Zelfs planten leven is niet uit te sluiten. Geloof je dat de beelden trucages zijn moet ik je teleurstellen, je kunt ze op de officiële website van de Nasa vinden. Het is nog geen bewijs, maar het zijn wel mooie beelden.

Top 5 Cases For Martian Life

Mars has always held a fascination for us Earthlings. It is our immediate neighbour out from the Sun and the outermost of the hard, rocky terrestrial planets before the asteroid belt and the gas giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn. Since the first telescope observations of Mars in the early 1600s, we have suspected that it is more Earth-like than any other planet. Our desire to know it better has been driven by our need to learn more about our own planet and its place in the solar system and by our fertile imaginations. Is Mars inhabited? Could it be a home for mankind in some distant future?

Iani Chaos on Mars, an area where Light Toned Deposits, or LTD, are known to be present.

An analysis of data and images from Mars Express suggests that several LTD, some of the least understood structures on Mars, were formed when large amounts of groundwater burst on to the surface. Scientists propose that groundwater had a greater role in shaping the martian surface than previously believed, and may have sheltered primitive life forms as the planet started drying up.

This image was obtained with the High Resolution Stereo Camera on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft.

Tom Charles Van Flandern (born Cleveland, Ohio, 1940) is an American astronomer who specialized in celestial mechanics. He received a PhD from Yale University and worked at the U.S. Naval Observatory for 20 years. He is married to Barbara Ann Weber and is the father of four children.

Van Flandern is best known for his contention that certain features on the surface of Mars are artificial sculptures of \\\”faces\\\” created by extraterrestrial beings. In addition, he advocates the replacement of modern theories of physics with his own set of ideas, which he calls \\\”deep reality physics\\\”, the main feature of which is his belief in the possibility of faster-than-light travel and limitless free energy. His 1993, 1999 book also challenges prevailing notions regarding dark matter and solar system formation. He maintains a personal web page devoted to these topics. His views have not found acceptance within the mainstream scientific.
