Remade by Tobe Hooper in 1986, the original sci-fi classic Invaders from Mars was released in 1953, and Ignite Films is celebrating the films 70th anniversary with a brand new release.

Directed by William Cameron Menzies, Invaders from Mars has received a sensational 4K restoration, and Ignite Films is bringing it to Blu-ray & 4K UHD on September 26, 2022.

Pre-orders for the new release have launched TODAY!

Special bonus features include a restored 4K version of the original 1953 trailer, an interview with the films star, Jimmy Hunt, an in-depth look at the restoration process led by Scott MacQueen, Restoration Supervisor, plus a new documentary about the film featuring interviews with directors Joe Dante (Gremlins), John Landis (An American Werewolf in London), Visual Effects Academy-Award winner Robert Skotak, and other luminaries.

The full list of Bonus Features includes:

From the official press release, heres everything you need to know

Im excited for audiences, old and new, to finally be able to watch this masterpiece of both film and restoration on Blu-ray and 4K UHD!, said Ignite Films Director Jan Willem Bosman Jansen. We have taken great care to cover as many aspects of the movie in our bonus materials and design to bring it back to life for as wide an audience as possible. The work we have done is also a homage to the overall genius of William Cameron Menzies, and I cannot speak for him of course, but I think he would be thrilled with how his movie looks today.

Fearful memories of this timeless 1953 bone-chiller still haunt the dreams of fans who have never forgotten the story of David MacLean, a young boy (Jimmy Hunt) who witnesses an alien invasion. Invaders from Mars was filmed from a childs point of view, using exaggerated sets and upward angles. It became a modern classic and was also one of two early 50s classic alien-invasion science fiction films (the other is Robert Wises The Day the Earth Stood Still) reflecting Cold War tensions, the Red Scare and paranoid anxiety typical of many films in the 50s.

Invaders from Mars stars Jimmy Hunt, Helena Carter, Arthur Franz, Morris Ankrum, Leif Erickson, and Hillary Brooke.

Cinecon will honor former child actor Jimmy Hunt with a special screening of the 4K restoration of Invaders From Mars at this years festival, which will run Labor Day weekend, from September 1-5, 2022 in Hollywood. Other special screenings of the 4K restoration have wowed audiences at the TCM Classic Film Festival, Hollywood, CA in April, Il Cinema Ritrovato in Bologna, Italy, and the Fine Arts Film Festival, Venice, CA in June.

The restoration of Invaders from Mars has been much hoped for and a long time coming but the process was not an easy one. Leading the effort was longtime enthusiast and preservationist of classic cinema Scott MacQueen, who previously was head of preservation at UCLA Film & Television Archive for more than a decade, before retiring in 2021.

The biggest challenge for MacQueen was that the color negative confirmed for printing in SUPERcineCOLOR lacked many shots and needed to be sourced from 70-year-old prints.

Invaders from Mars was one of the most complex projects I have ever undertaken, said Restoration Supervisor Scott MacQueen. In the days of analog restoration, it would not have been possible, but 21st century digital tools have been game-changers. Released in an archaic process that is irretrievable today, Invaders from Mars was pieced together from five different sources. Additionally, eight minutes of European scenes and an alternate ending, and the original trailer, have been preserved. As star Jimmy Hunt says, Invaders from Mars has never looked so good, added MacQueen.

The 4K restoration process of the sci-fi classic Invaders from Mars required a lengthy search for the final elements, which was conducted by Ignites Janet Schorer. Additionally, it was imperative to locate the elements necessary to fill in the gaps in the original camera negative, which was stored with great care at the UCLA Film & Television Archive. The George Eastman Museum and National Film and Sound Archive of Australia were instrumental in supplying additional key elements which were essential to completing the film.

In support of the release, Ignite Films has created The Maze, a home for critical and analytical writing pertaining to the exciting restoration and release of Invaders from Mars. Named after the landmark 3D horror noir by William Cameron Menzies, every corner and avenue of the history and subtext of Invaders from Mars will be explored in The Maze by some of film historys greatest critical minds. Led by editor and critic Scout Tafoya. The Maze is available on the Ignite Films website.

Ignite Films will initially release the 4K restoration of Invaders From Mars in US/Region 1 on September 26, and will roll-out the release worldwide, excluding the UK, where Arrow Films will distribute. The Big Pieces Company is supporting the release in the US and overseeing international sales.

The 2016 board game Terraforming Mars is an amazing title.

As evidence, I present the following image:

Nate Anderson

And if a board game becomes popular, you can be sure of one thing: A card game version will eventually arrive. If thats a hit, get ready for the dice version. And then, market willing, comes the roll-and-write version. That may sound like cynical resignation to cash-grabby companies endlessly returning to the same well, but these reimagined versions arent necessarily a bad thing. In fact, some of my favorite games are card or dice versions of bigger board games.

Thats where last years Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition comes in. A card-game spin on the original,Ares Expedition aims to capture the feel of the board game in a smaller, tighter package.

We are pleased to report that it succeeds. Advertisement

Any complaints we had about the production values of the original board game have been fixed.

The central board tracks how far along you and your opponents are in terraforming Mars.

The new games theme is identical to the original board games. You and up to three opponents take on the role of CEOs of megacorporations working to turn the inhospitable terrain of the red planet into something humanity can call home. While your actions contribute to the main goal of raising three key global parametersthe planets temperature must hit 8 Celsius, atmospheric oxygen must rise to 14 percent, and oceanic coverage must become sufficient to kickstart the planets own hydrologic cyclethis is not a cooperative game.

An all-female VALORANT team has been accused of cheating during the recent Galorants Astral Clash event.

Team Fallacy is being accused of cheating at a recent online tournament, with one of the players boyfriends allegedly standing in during a match. An entire document was released to support the shocking accusations, stating Mars boyfriend, ex-TSM FTX star Payen, was using her account during the event.

The document was shared because the event was the Last Chance Qualifier for the Astral Clash LAN tournament in California, with the winner getting a fully paid-for trip.

The Google doc went over an abundance of circumstantial and screenshot evidence that all came together to make mars look guilty of cheating, from suspicious behavior to past performance.

A clip of Mars allegedly getting a 1v5 ace is what initially led to the allegations. During the clip, Mars cannot be heard saying a single thing, which many found to be a strange response from someone who won in a 1v5 situation.

Looking into the situation further, VALORANT players noticed there was a lot of similarities with how Payen plays the shooter. For example, Mars uses F instead of C as a keybind, but went back to default binds during the tournament, the same as her boyfriend Payen. Mars also typically uses a dot crosshair but was using Payens usual crosshair during the 1v5 moment.

Finally, we could not find a single clip of mars using the Discord in-game overlay while playing with her team. Payen, on the other hand, has multiple clips on his Twitter where he has it on. In this 1v5 clip, the Discord overlay is on, the document read.

The Google doc went on to explain that Payen was seen queuing with the Fallacy roster in ranked a day before the event. Interestingly, Mars wasnt there. The document questioned why Payen would be there instead of Mars, speculating that it was because they wouldnt be playing with her in the tournament.

So far, its all accusations.

Riot Games has yet to make any rulings after the evidence was released and mars has her Twitter locked so she has been silent about the situation. This has left fans in the dark about the validity of the accusations.

Some believe all of the items listed in the document are not enough to amount to someone cheating, with some noting that changing a keybind is not too unheard of.

But others feel that all of it together adds up to be a bit suspicious, at least.

Curiositys analysis of mudstone rock samples shows relatively high amount of organic carbon here. Image via NASA/ JPL-Caltech/ MSSS.Organic carbon key life ingredient in Mars rocks

On June 27, 2022, NASA announced that the Mars Curiosity rover has measured the amount of organic carbon in a sample of 3.5-billion-year-old rocks drilled from the site of an ancient lake on Mars Gale crater. Organic carbon is carbon bound to a hydrogen atom. Its the basis for organic molecules, and a building block of all known forms of life. NASA space scientist Jennifer Stern is lead author of paper on the findings, published in the peer-reviewed journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on June 27, 2022. She said:

Total organic carbon is one of several measurements [or indices] that help us understand how much material is available as feedstock for prebiotic chemistry and potentially biology.

We found at least 200 to 273 parts per million of organic carbon. This is comparable to, or even more than, the amount found in rocks in very low-life places on Earth, such as parts of the Atacama Desert in South America, and more than has been detected in Mars meteorites.

The rover drilled the samples of rock called mudstone from the site of an ancient, now-dry lake in the Yellowknife Bay formation of Mars Gale crater. Scientists say the mudstone formed 3.5 billion years ago, when very fine sediment from weathering of volcanic rocks settled to the bottom of the lake and was buried. Both active Mars rovers, Curiosity and Perseverance, have detected organic carbon molecules on Mars before, but this is the first time the amount of organic carbon has been quantified. Stern told EarthSky:

The big deal here is that we are reporting the total organic carbon in the sample We consider this a measurement of the amount of abiotic [not derived from living organisms] organic carbon that would be available for organic chemistry. Previously detections were really crucial to telling us what kind of carbon is in Mars surface rocks, while our work presents how much carbon was there, and tries to address the question of the carbon source.

On Earth, organic carbon found in, say, a soil sample, indicates the presence of life. Thats because, on our planet, organic carbon is produced when plants and animals decompose. But its not so straightforward on Mars. There, organic carbon can also come from non-living sources, such as meteorites and volcanoes. Stern told EarthSky:

Meteorites range in organic carbon but average around 20 ppm. But theres lots of carbon that can come in from extraterrestrial sources, so its likely that we are measuring those sources in addition to whatever is the Mars carbon from igneous rocks.

When doing our calculations, we made assumptions in such a way that the reported amount is the most conservative estimate, really a lower limit, so it is likely there is more organic carbon in these rocks Even when you do that, though, the amount of carbon is still in the range of what is calculated to be contributed from the infall of extraterrestrial material on Mars. Still, the amount of carbon would have been enough to sustain very low levels of life, had it ever evolved and been present in this location on Mars.

After Curiosity drilled samples from rocks, the rover deposited the powder into its Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument. An oven in SAM heats the samples to increasingly high temperatures. Oxygen and heat convert any organic carbon that exists to carbon dioxide (CO2). SAM then measures the amount of the gas to determine the amount of total organic carbon in the rocks.

When the samples are heated, minerals that contain carbon decompose, releasing the carbon. The oxygen and heat break apart the carbon molecules, which react with the oxygen to make carbon dioxide. This experiment cannot be conducted very often. In fact, the mission team has performed it only once so far, in 2014. It then took researchers years to analyze the resulting data.

SAM is also capable of determining the source of the organic carbon, at least to some extent. It does this by measuring the isotopic ratios of the carbon. Isotopes are different versions of the same element. The difference is in the weight (mass) of the elements. This is due to the presence of one or more extra neutrons in the nucleus of the atoms.

Living organisms, on Earth anyway, tend to have lighter isotopes of carbon, known as carbon-12. The carbon in minerals, carbon-13, is heavier.

Could any of the organic carbon actually be biological in origin? The results are a bit inconclusive. According to Stern:

In this case, the isotopic composition can really only tell us what portion of the total carbon is organic carbon and what portion is mineral carbon. While biology cannot be completely ruled out, isotopes cannot really be used to support a biological origin for this carbon, either, because the range overlaps with igneous (volcanic) carbon and meteoritic organic material, which are most likely to be the source of this organic carbon.

Scientists first announced the discovery of enriched amounts of carbon-12 on Mars, which is crucial for life on Earth, back in January. This is carbon-12 in the same mudstone rocks in Yellowknife Bay, analyzed by Curiosity. The fact that carbon-12 exists on Mars is exciting, since on Earth, it would point to life. As this newest study shows, however, determining its origin on Mars is more difficult.

EarthSky asked Stern what shed like to find out next:

I really want to know how much carbon the rocks higher up on Mount Sharp have. Our results are from the base of Gale Crater, where we believe there was an ancient lake. As we move through the layered clays and sulfates and into clays, we are looking at a very different geological, climatic, and depositional environment. Is there more carbon here, or less? By how much? Its always so hard to extrapolate about a whole planet from one single measurement.

Getting more data on bulk organic carbon abundance could reveal how much abiotic organic chemistry was going on in the ancient atmosphere and surface, and help us understand what the baseline amount of organic carbon is, so that if we come across a sample with much more organic carbon than we expect from abiotic processes, we know that something out of the ordinary was going on, and that we should investigate further.

Bottom line: For the first time, scientists measured the amount of organic carbon a key life ingredient in rocks on Mars. NASAs Curiosity rover analyzed samples taken from ancient mudstones. The results are comparable to levels of organic carbon in the Atacama Desert on Earth. The findings are inconclusive, however, as to whether any of the carbon came from ancient life.

Mars rover measures key life ingredient - EarthSky

To better understand Mars and its atmosphere, NASA is asking for help spotting clouds on the Red Planet.

Scientists are inviting the public to identify Martian clouds as part of a new project to learn why Mars has lost its atmosphere over time.

'Cloudspotting on Mars' may help researchers figure out why the planet's atmosphere is just one percent as dense as Earth's. They say that this is important because evidence suggests the planet once had a much thicker atmosphere.

JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE'S FIRST IMAGES OF UNIVERSE USHER IN 'NEW ERA OF ASTRONOMY,' SCIENTISTS SAY

Similar to Earth, clouds on Mars are made of ice crystals, but there are major differences.

NASA says some clouds on the Red Planet are made up of carbon dioxide. Scientists say that these clouds form when it gets cold enough for the Martian atmosphere to freeze locally, similar to dry ice.

"We want to learn what triggers the formation of clouds especially water ice clouds, which could teach us how high water vapor gets in the atmosphere and during which seasons," said Marek Slipski from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Figuring out how clouds form on Mars will help scientists better understand the structure of Mars' middle atmosphere, which is located about 30 to 50 miles above the planet.

"We now have over 16 years of data for us to search through, which is very valuable it lets us see how temperatures and clouds change over different seasons and from year to year," said Armin Kleinboehl, Mars Climate Sounder's deputy principal investigator at JPL. "But it's a lot of data for a small team to look through."

Thanks to theMars Climate Sounder (MCS)on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, you'll be presented with images from observations over four hours.

Cloudspotting on Mars Citizen Science Project: To decide if something is an arch, look for two distinct legs and a peak.(NASA)

You can take the tutorial, showing you how to scan the images from left to right, looking for arches. NASA says that the clouds appear to rise from behind the atmosphere to a higher altitude and then fall again. This leads to an arch-like shape in the data. The peak of the arch is the actual location of the cloud.

You can zoom in to see if the arches have distinct legs and a peak. If so, you can mark the peaks of all the arches with the arch peak marker.

The tools on the site also allow you to invert colors to see the arches better and even provide a field guide for examples that will help with the task.

After much searching under extremely difficult conditions, researchers have found microbes that have never been identified before.

The microbes are from about 900 kilometers (about 559 miles) south of the North Pole. They could provide a blueprint for the kind of life forms that may once have existed, or may still exist, on Mars.

The extremely salty, very cold, and almost oxygen-free environment under the permafrost of Lost Hammer Spring in Canadas High Arctic is the one that most closely resembles certain areas on Mars.

In a paper in ISME, the scientists demonstrate, for the first time, that microbial communities found living in Canadas High Arctic, in conditions analogous to those on Mars, can survive by eating and breathing simple inorganic compounds of a kind that have been detected on Mars (such as methane, sulfide, sulfate, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide).

This discovery is so compelling that samples of the Lost Hammer surface sediments were selected by the European Space Agency to test the life detection capabilities of the instruments they plan to use on the next ExoMars Mission.

Lost Hammer Spring, in Nunavut in Canadas High Arctic, is one of the coldest and saltiest terrestrial springs discovered to date. The water which travels up through 600 meters (1,968.5 feet) of permafrost to the surface is extremely salty (~24% salinity), perennially at sub-zero temperatures (~5 C) and contains almost no oxygen (<1ppm dissolved oxygen). The very high salt concentrations keep the Lost Hammer spring from freezing, thus maintaining a liquid water habitat even at sub-zero temperatures.

These conditions are analogous to those found in certain areas on Mars, where widespread salt deposits and possible cold salt springs have been observed. And while earlier studies have found evidence of microbes in this kind of Mars-like environmentthis is one of a very few studies to find microbes alive and active

To gain insight into the kind of life forms that could exist on Mars, researchers, led by Lyle Whyte of the natural resource sciences department at McGill University, used state-of-the-art genomic tools and single cell microbiology methods to identify and characterize a novel, and more importantly, an active microbial community in this unique spring. Finding the microbes and then sequencing their DNA and mRNA was no easy task.

It took a couple of years of working with the sediment before we were able to successfully detect active microbial communities, explains Elisse Magnuson, a PhD student in Whytes lab, and the first author of the paper.

The saltiness of the environment interferes with both the extraction and the sequencing of the microbes, so when we were able to find evidence of active microbial communities, it was a very satisfying experience.

The team isolated and sequenced DNA from the spring community, allowing them to reconstruct genomes from approximately 110 microorganisms, most of which have never been seen before. These genomes have allowed the team to determine how such creatures survive and thrive in this unique extreme environment, acted as blueprints for potential life forms in similar environments. Through mRNA sequencing, the team was able to identify active genes in the genomes and essentially identify some very unusual microbes actively metabolizing in the extreme spring environment.

The microbes we found and described at Lost Hammer Spring are surprising, because, unlike other microorganisms, they dont depend on organic material or oxygen to live, adds Whyte.

Instead, they survive by eating and breathing simple inorganic compounds such as methane, sulfides, sulfate, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide, all of which are found on Mars. They can also fix carbon dioxide and nitrogen gasses from the atmosphere, all of which makes them highly adapted to both surviving and thriving in very extreme environments on Earth and beyond.

The next steps in the research will be to culture and further characterize the most abundant and active members of this strange microbial ecosystem, to better understand why and how they are thriving in the very cold, salty, muck of the Lost Hammer Spring. The researchers hope that this, in turn, will help in the interpretation of the exciting but enigmatic sulfur and carbon isotopes that were very recently obtained from the NASA Curiosity Rover in the Gale Crater on Mars.

Deliver Us Mars will have the players in the shoes of Kathy Johanson, a young astronaut with a seemingly significant connection to the Red Planet. According to the devs, Kathy's father, Isaac, abruptly abandoned her in the past and took ARKs with him.

In order to understand the weight of these actions, we need to rewind a bit. In the game's universe, humanity has ruined Earth with pollution and climate change, which is why they are looking for a way off the once lush and beautiful planet. To that end, they created the ARKs, massive ships that are meant to give humanity a chance to colonise other planets and thus evade extinction.

Since Isaac stole what is seen as humanity's last chance, he has been declared a criminal, which obviously left Kathy in a rough spot. Around the time Deliver Us Mars kicks off, a mysterious transmission originating from Mars gets into Kathy's path and she becomes convinced Isaac could be alive. Therefore, the young astronaut goes to find him and provide humanity an opportunity to escape the dying Earth.

Overall, Deliver Us Mars may be a story about saving Earth but it's not above some good old fashioned drama to spice things up as we navigate the barren planet.

Kathy is voiced by Ellise Chappell, who is also lending the character her looks while Neil Newbon plays her father, Isaac.

Deliver Us Mars story is all about saving Earth, but on Red Planet - AltChar

Japanese researchers have proposed constructing artificial-gravity buildings on the Moon and Mars which could help reduce health risks to humans in space.

Their proposals follow a study published earlier this month which found astronauts suffered significant bone loss while in low-gravity environments.

Only about half of this bone loss was recovered a year after the astronauts returned to Earth - raising concerns about future missions to Mars and the Moon.

Now researchers from Kyoto University and Kajima Corporation have proposed huge rotating structures that would create the effect of Earth-like gravity through centripetal force.

They propose building a living facility on the Moon called Lunar Glass which will be close to 400 metres tall and complete a full rotation every 20 seconds.

A similar facility called Mars Glass is proposed for Mars.

Renderings of these buildings shared by the SIC Human Spaceology Centre at Kyoto University are similar to the space station in the 2013 science-fiction film Elysium, although much smaller in scale.

The multi-story surfaces of the rotating buildings are surrounded by liquid water and land with trees, creating a mini-biome with water and carbo cycles to sustain human populations.

Alongside these facilities, the researchers proposed an interplanetary transportation system that maintains Earth-like gravity en route called the Hexatrack system.

The carriages of the land-based Hexatrack train would be separated at injector stations and then inserted into a rotating hexagonal pod which also generates centripetal force while travelling through space.

Rotational simulated gravity is already used in high-g centrifuges to train astronauts and aviators.

Science-fiction films including Elysium, Interstellar, and 2001: A Space Odyssey feature spacecraft that rotate to create artificial gravity - although no existing spacecraft has yet ever been designed to simulate it.

The researchers have proposed the whole system alongside announcing a joint study into achieving the plan - although they don't expect it will deliver results immediately.

"There is no plan like this in other countries' space development plans," said Yosuke Yamashiki, the director of the SIC Human Spaceology Centre.

"Our plan represents important technologies crucial to ensuring human beings will be able to move to space in the future," he added.

They caution that constructing the full-size facilities will take around 100 years, although they hope to build a simplified version on the Moon by 2050.
