Re: Martian Vegetation On ESA Picture

Hi, Friends!

First of all, I should apologize for posting a subject which hardly
would stand under a sensible evaluation. But, as I consider that
anyone deserves to be heard, here you are an image that a website
claims to be an evidence of vegetation on Martian soil:

See here a direct link:

The white spots are claimed to be mining activities.

The website says that ESA is the source of the image.

So, what do you think about that?

I am waiting your feedback. :)

Even if the picture is in true colour, it could be nothing more than an oxide of copper or such like.

Green isn't even a particulary obvious colour for plant life, because it involves reflecting the high energy end of the spectrum, and trying to scrape a living on the lew energy end.
