Tuesday Telescope: Finally, some answers on those Martian streaks

Alas, these probably are not reservoirs of life.

The image in today's post comes from the European Space Agency's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, and it has been slightly modified to enhance the appearance of the streaks. It looks like art.

What always ticks me off about space photos is they're always enhanced and even false coloured.

Where are the originals that show what we'd see with our failible human eyes (*) if we ever got there?

(*) Or at least with your average visible spectrum camera!

Ah, but thats not interesting. We need to bump it up a bit, how about "alas, not reservoirs of life"? Huh? Add some feels to it, right? Now we will have everyone sad and morose about loss of reservoirs of life. Throw in an oasis too! Arabian nights, the desert, the moon aaaahhhh, now thats the Mars worth talking about. Not this... "streaks of dust place".

How about we let Samsung take care of all those space photos?

Incidentally, I don't understand who posted what in the post I'm replying to.

Incidentally 2, i used an "AI" at first to find the link above and it hallucinated me a very similar but 404-ing link to The Verge.
