This was the very first alien invasion film shot in color, following The War of the Worlds also released in 1953. We needed the elements to fill in the gaps in the original camera negative, which was stored with great care at the UCLA Film & Television Archive.” The 1950s sci-fi film stars Jimmy Hunt, Helena Carter, Arthur Franz, Morris Ankrum, Leif Erickson, and Hillary Brooke. Now, finally, the wait is almost over! “Fearful memories of this timeless 1953 bone-chiller still haunt the dreams of fans who have never forgotten the story of a young boy who witnesses an alien invasion.” Ignite states: “We’re grateful to finally complete the 4K restoration of the sci-fi classic Invaders from Mars after a lengthy search for the final elements.
Fans have waited for the restoration of William Cameron Menzies’ sci-fi classic Invaders from Mars. This 69-year-old film will be out on Blu-ray in September, and has been touring to restoration festivals including TCM, Fine Arts Film Festival, and the upcoming Il Cinema Ritrovato in Italy. The AP is solely responsible for all content.“Capturing humans at will for their own sinister purposes!” Ignite Films has revealed a new trailer for their 4K restoration of a sci-fi classic titled Invaders from Mars, originally released in 1953. The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education. But the German digger never got deeper than a couple feet (a half-meter) because of the unexpected composition of the red dirt, and it finally was declared dead at the beginning of last year. “None of them have quite hit us dead-on yet enough to blow the dust off the panels," Banerdt told reporters.Īnother science instrument, dubbed the mole, was supposed to burrow 16 feet (5 meters) underground to measure the internal temperature of Mars. That has yet to happen, despite several thousand whirlwinds coming close. The InSight team anticipated this much dust buildup, but hoped a gust wind of wind or dust devil might clean off the solar panels. Deputy project manager Kathya Zamora Garcia said the lander initially had enough power to run an electric oven for one hour and 40 minutes now it’s down to 10 minutes max. InSight currently is generating one-tenth of the power from the sun that it did upon arrival. The space agency may rethink solar power in the future for Mars, said planetary science director Lori Glaze, or at least experiment with new panel-clearing tech or aim for the less-stormy seasons. NASA's two other functioning spacecraft on the Martian surface - rovers Curiosity and Perseverance - are still going strong thanks to nuclear power. In InSight's case, it's been a gradual gathering of dust, especially over the past year. It will be NASA's second Mars lander lost to dust: A global dust storm took out Opportunity in 2018. Since landing on Mars in 2018, InSight has detected more than 1,300 marsquakes the biggest one, a magnitude 5, occurred two weeks ago.
We're really still focused on operating the spacecraft,” said Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Bruce Banerdt, the principal scientist. “There really hasn't been too much doom and gloom on the team. Then flight controllers will monitor InSight until the end of this year, before calling everything off. NASA said Tuesday it will keep using the spacecraft’s seismometer to register marsquakes until the power peters out, likely in July. The Insight lander is losing power because of all the dust on its solar panels. (AP) - A NASA spacecraft on Mars is headed for a dusty demise.
