Unusal Martian Surface Features,Etc.

writes http://www.cyberspaceorbit.com/esa_cydonia.html "In areas adjacent to Cydonia, debris aprons are frequently found. These are formed at the foot of remnant mounds and probably consist of a mixture of rocky debris and ice. In Cydonia such aprons are often missing in smaller massifs. The formation of debris aprons is considered to be controlled by talus formation and landslides. At the "Face of Mars" such characteristic landslides and an early form of debris apron formation can also be observed. Former larger debris aprons might have been covered up by later lava flows in the surroundings. The western wall of the "Face" moved downslope as a coherent mass. The location of the detachment zone is reflected by a large scarp extending from north to south. The results of large mass wasting are also visible at the foot of the pyramid-like formations." http://www.dlr.de/mars-express/en/de...d-207/1616_rea d-4790/httpstatus-404/ I wonder if Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter will cover this area, or will they decide that enough is enough? |

... http://www.cyberspaceorbit.com/esa_cydonia.html Prime Assuming someone now has at least low resolution 3D co-ordinates of the Cydonia terrain (marrain ?). It would be instructive if they produced a scale model surface of that and placed under a rostrum camera and lit from a distant single source and varyed the angles until they got the 'face' to emerge. |

I don't think you would want to vary the angles - the precise conditions of the Viking images are available and you would use that http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/face.txt I wonder if someone at DLR would be prepared to plug the figures into their model of the "face" region. It should be much easier to do this using software rather than extracting the height data from the stereo pair and making a physical model. I don't know much about this but "I know a man who does" :-) |

theres a book out called the mars mystery, in it the author claims some rock
and mountians on mars are pyramids etc. its a load of drivel Simon "Jonathan Silverlight" wrote in message ...
