Here is Keith Laney's cleaned-up version of the new ESA image of Phobos, released on March 7, 2010, and posted on Laney's web site Hidden Mission on March 19, just hours before his entire site was "OBLITERATED" - gone - "no files, no comments, no images, no discussion board ... no NOTHING! It simply doesn't EXIST anymore." GJH Attachments:

Keith's work is always clear and complete. Don't understand what is going on over there on his site. The address remains the same but he cleared everything else out.... maybe it just got to be too expensive.

Another great piece of work by Keith. The almost parallel striations are fascinating. They look like something formed by glaciation except they run in basically two different directions and curve around the top of the body. The craters appear weathered. If this was once a piece of a larger body that was blown off one would not expect it to look this way. I am interested to hear what the planetary geologists have to say.

I see those deep striations also run up and down hill - through the craters. Is this the ordinary course for glacier movement?

Yes glaciers can move uphill for a short distance. Remember glaciers can be miles in thickness so the terrestial surface has little bearing on their movement. They are plastic on the bottom and due to pressure and weight from top loading they advance. When referring to glaciers in the phobos instance I was referring to the only method I can think of that would form striations. I really don't think that it was glaciation that formed these marks.

Just to clear up some confusion, in my comments regarding glaciers, I was referring to my first post that if Phobos had been blown off a larger body - ie a planet, then you could look at glaciation as a possiblilty for the striations. As it is now, Phobos has no parameters available to form precipiation let alone glaciers.

Hello thewatcher,
thanks for sharing your enhancements of Phobos with us and welcome to The Cydonia Institute's discussion board.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work here.

I think the little hole; in the center of the larger craters, might be air jet holes used to eject the asteroid away from Phobos. scElectricCar.com/Phobos.htmThe craters are actually asteroid bays used to hold captured asteroids.
