Where Is This?

When you don't water your lawn you save yourself on mowing time.

California after they secede

I notice that many times you reply to a photo with a photo.

While many times a 'picture is worth a thousand words' it is almost like answering a question with a question. I appreciate your insight and knowledge, but sometimes your posts leave me with no idea what is going on.

Perhaps because I am too stupid to understand your communications?

"its quite hot there."

So, my guess of Pluto would be wrong?

Pluto is loaded with water-ice

My next guess was gonna be the Oroville Dam, guess that is wrong too. That's what I get for following the O.P.'s history......

Venus.

I'll guess Mercury.

with a surface temp over 860F! Venus is smoking!

And it rains sulphuric acid. Talk about nasty weather!

I would say mars

I would say second planet NOT 4th

Mars?

I don't see any Cyrillic text nor bits and pieces of the Venera lander. So unless this is an artistic representation I don't believe this is from Venus.

believe what you want I cropped it

None of the few public domain pictures I've found from the Venera landers show a horizon. I believe the Soviets expected the thick cloud cover to mask any horizon line. I suspect you found and then cropped a misfiled Martian image.

The earth's atmosphere acts like a very weak prism, refracting light slightly downward. The atmosphere of Venus acts very much stronger in that at an altitude below a critical refraction altitude of about 35 km, the curvature of a ray of light would exceed the curvature of the planet. (At the critical altitude, a ray of light would orbit the planet until it is absorbed!)

So if you could see far enough, from the surface of Venus, it would appear that you were at the bottom of a gigantic bowl.

Maybe the Ruskies borrowed a few of the Curiosity photos...

Here is yours:

A google search came up with this:

They look the same to me.

So, one is right and one is wrong (unless Curiosity got around a lot more than advertised ).

Here is the NASA video:

I didn't realize the Venus atmosphere was so clear. But theres nothing to scale the visibility distance

It's not Venus. We do not have a rover on Venus. Venus atmosphere is so hostile that our probes can only last around 30 mins. (Depending on the test) the surface temperature is hotter than the melting point of lead (875f). Although the atmosphere is mostly CO2 it is 90x the pressure of earth, and there is a heavy layer (actually several) of several kilometers thick of sulfuric acid. There is NO visible light on the surface of Venus.

that's what I pointed out the atmosphere was clear.

they deceived me?? on the internet? say it isn't so

Hawaii.

"quite hot there"... well ...

that rules out this place:

(("Devon Island has solar irradiance similar to the solar irradiation on the Martian Equator. "))

^{_{<<"stoopid iPhone"/browser>>}} I was fooled, Sunday mornin', thinking this photo had "stuck"...(above):

What eclipse?

The moon would only get one type of eclipse - when the Earth occludes the Sun. I hadn't thought of that before. Researching...

When we have a lunar eclipse, the moon has a solar eclipse. All of their "terran" eclipses when there is a solar eclipse somewhere on earth are, of course, partial.

Yes, very partial!

It's the Rebel outpost on Dantooine.

Well, if the Arizona guess is correct, I have to ask if there is a "Hell" there? I know there is one in Michigan, Germany, and the Caymen Islands, but this certainly isn't any of those locations.

mars of course.. this is not rocket science!

In Ethiopia, near the Erta Ale basaltic volcano that is continuously active.

Pyongyang?

Bugs says, "Hmm....a....could be! That's all folks!" Chomps on freshly plucked carrot, while stepping off into the pyongyang sunset, oh snap, that is just pyongyang itself.

I understand the new name in 100,000 years after things settle down a bit will be:

Ping-Pong Ying....for balance to be yet restored.

Las Vegas?!?

Phoenix?!?
