Dark, Recurring Streaks on Walls of Garni Crater on Mars
Dark narrow streaks, called "recurring slope lineae," emanate from the walls of Garni Crater on Mars, in this view constructed from observations by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
The dark streaks here are up to few hundred yards, or meters, long. They are hypothesized to be formed by flow of briny liquid water on Mars.
The image was produced by first creating a 3-D computer model (a digital terrain map) of the area based on stereo information from two HiRISE observations, and then draping an image over the land-shape model. The vertical dimension is exaggerated by a factor of 1.5 compared to horizontal dimensions. The draped image is a red waveband (monochrome) product from HiRISE observation ESP_031059_1685, taken on March 12, 2013 at 11.5 degrees south latitude, 290.3 degrees east longitude.

The University of Arizona, Tucson, operates HiRISE, which was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colorado.

Recurring "Lineae" on Slopes at Horowitz Crater
The dark, narrow streaks flowing downhill on Mars at sites such as this portion of Horowitz Crater are inferred to be formed by seasonal flow of water on modern-day Mars. The streaks are roughly the length of a football field.
The imaging and topographical information in this processed view come from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
These dark features on the slopes are called "recurring slope lineae" or RSL. Planetary scientists using observations with the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer on the same orbiter detected hydrated salts on these slopes at Horowitz Crater, corroborating the hypothesis that the streaks are formed by briny liquid water.

el dispensador dice:
despiértate...
las existencias se están acercando,
el universo vibra,
y la lección está comenzando,
es hora de demostrar si has aprendido,
lo que se estuvo enseñando...
la gracia está al alcance de tu mano,
la has estado respirando,
si reconoces tu destino,
no te sorprenderá el ser sellado...
despiértate...
la creación está arribando,
todo lo que has conocido,
será modificado,
desde los cielos,
hasta los suelos que has pisado...
¿estás, acaso, preparado?...
no se puede aprobar si has mentido,
tampoco si has robado...
los cinismos,
al igual que las soberbias,
son sólo sinónimos de fracasos,
propios de fracasados...
¿qué has hecho de tu vida?...
acaso... ¿lo has pensado?...
despiértate,
están llegando aquellos que no fueron invitados.
SEPTIEMBRE 29, 2015.-
que son los mismos a los que estuviste molestando...
