Helleborus in Black 1

Helleborus in Black is the name of a new research project on the dark side of  planet Helleborus. It was known in advance that on this side things are long mixed with the dark as Indian ink. But surprisingly, although living forms are still the first reference of the images coming, we often have difficulties to clarify whether it is vegetable or animal shapes, microscopic life or simple life forms waste ...

Turning to red

Helleborus 38: the green kingdom turns to red

Helleborus has seasonal cycles. Fairly quickly, the kingdom of green turns to red. Not the first time they appear reddish forms on the planet (see H-27 or H-29), but now the phenomenon seems to be extended to large scale with a slow transformation of the green...

The process starts in the flowers-mushroom (see H-25 and H-20):

As it happened in the previous seasonal change, some mission responsibles think again it's time to bring back home the probe but another doubt...

Helleborus 25

The planet Helleborus approaches to the perihelion of its orbit. The position of the probe thats orbits the planet is affected by magnetic storms from its sun and will stop sending pictures of this world for a while. In this last shipment of the season we appreciate again flowers-fungi (such as H20) and arboreal forms (such as H1)... The technicians are discussing the future of the mission ...

Helleborus 20, detail

About the first image, a part of the team says they are flowers, a kind of bell-shaped orchids, but most think they are just fungi.

As regard the beetle which we grasp among the falles leaves, there seems to be no doubt that it is an insect with a keratinous shell or similar.

As for the last picture (H22), the discussion is even greater because the image ranges from geometric lines and skins like that were visible in H8 without reaching a full explanation of its meaning.
