Section 3: Mars surface images
"The Odyssey's mission is to map the planet's geology, paying particular attention to the role of water, both past and present. Recent results from the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS), in orbit since 1997, have brought interest in water there to fever pitch. Last June, pictures from the MGS indicated that brief flows of liquid water could have been present on the planet as recently as any time between yesterday and two million years ago. In December, the discovery of layered deposits of rock at multiple locations on the planet suggested sedimentation left by ancient lakes"
Images about the Water on Mars  that NASA did not publicized
Water NASA did say there is no evidence of liquid  water on Mars surface, thus no life is possible under this condition. Correct. Unfortunately for them, actually we found at least some water. 
Images about the Mars habitat and envinronment
Plants Life need a food-chain: but then where are the plants? Here they come, from a couple of images never published before, and from a picture discovered by Graham Orme.
Huge Plants Nynphae Silvis - the anomalous craters enigma solution: they harbour plants. Huge plants, for instance.
Impact craters or structures Mars is full of craters; many are but many more are not. Instead of  holes they are solid structures with solid bounds.
Objects with false artificial-look Some use to criticize sayng that we see every sort of things in apparently banal images; not true. We see what is there when is really there. When there's nothing to see (even in really peculiar images), we do not see anything special.
New objects Objects not-classified yet
River bed Mars looks much like earth, when colored.
Inexplicable images  that NASA did not publicized
A Reef on Mars This image resisted for some time to every possible reading key, until I decided to avoid red color to make the rendering: once added underwater-like colors it started to make some sense. Check it out! 
NEW! Mars paesage In this image, taken in a big depression, Mars terrain shows not to be a desert: aside other inesplicable objects, the plain seems covered by plants or other kind of vegetation
Cuncaelia  Now I have the key: look at this image of the plains of Mars coloured as a sea ground instead of the uniform red we used until now.
Huge Geo Structure In this image huge geometrical shaped structures runs for hundreds of kilometers nearby the north frost polar cap

 

Inexplicable images  not otherwise classified
Polar Ice A strange and beautiful arabesque, probabli due to ice or frozen mud.
   

 

Launch of the Mars Odyssey probe (CNN) -- A spacecraft on its way to Mars to search for signs of water and life has performed "exceedingly well" since its launch, NASA said. The 2001 Mars Odyssey is slated to become the first spacecraft to visit Mars since two disastrous failures in 1999. Its observations could offer valuable information about possible extraterrestrial life and future human colonization
