I never gave this subject much diligence since I unfortunately succumbed along side the closed minded already know it all tendencies that it seems the majority of the populace have of the universe and our place in it. Until I watched this presentation given to N.A.S.A by Richard C Hoagland who has become someone I throroughly respect. Electra, this is another presentation I am sure you will enjoy. Amazing how this all ties into the hexagon on Saturn, Eye on Jupider, the volcanoes in Hawaii, etc... Enjoy.... Here is the first part,...there is Volume 2 as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0S-8k-p1-w&feature=related
Hoagland as a crank 1 Hoagland as a crank 2 Hoagland as a crank 3 Hoagland as a crank 4 Hoagland as a crank 5 ... more?
I liek this one best. About half way down it shows the face in all its windswept clear picture glory.
This 'face' is no different than New Hampshires Old Man of the Mountain. Erosion created it. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Regardless if it's natural or not, the area is a "rich" with unusual formations. It demands investigation in the future.
What's your problem? If I was a Geologist, I'm sure I'd be very interested in what rock is in that area.
Apparently these violated the terms of use - I find that interesting considering how much horrible crap is on utube.
Hoagland is a fraud. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2006/10/23/face-the-face/ http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2006/09/21/hoagland-still-wrong-about-face-on-mars/
But then you'd also be interested in rocks everywhere and if you were a geologist you'd likely make informed choices about what to study based on ease of analysis, interesting features and other criteria. You might have much better reasons to look somewhere else first, somewhere which isn't considered an ancient Martian structure by nuts out for the money of suckers.
