| WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MARS? The distances on the Mars surface becomes objects representing Sun and planets are proportional to the actual astronomical distances of their solar orbits and the scale is a mathematical value, i.e. the orbital distances are 2pi x1,000,000 times the corresponding distances measured on the surface of Mars. The surface distances can be measured accurately based on the Viking photographs, but the boundaries of the'mountain' objects are not distinct enough for accurate measurements to be made. However, it seems that the scale of astronomical diameters is probably another mathematical value, i.e. 1,000pi times the surface value, as the calculated surface diameters based on this scale give a reasonably good fit to the features on the photograph. The scales involve values based on the digit 2, the universal mathematical ratio pi and powers of 10,which are applicable on all planets. In July, 1976, Viking Orbiter 1 was acquiring images of the Cydonia region of Mars as part of the search for potential landing sites for Viking Lander 2. On 25 July, 1976, it photographed a region of buttes and mesas along the escarpment that separates heavily cratered highlands to the south from low lying, relatively crater-free, lowland plains to the north. Among the hills was one that, to the Viking investigators scrutinizing the images for likely landing sites, resembled a face. Owing to the importance of the landing site search, and with a desire to provide the public with at least one familiar-looking landform amid the craters and exotic terrains found all over Mars, an image including the face-like hill was released as part of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's public relations effort. The text of that release notes the face-like hill.

RECOMENEDED WEBSITES!!!!!!!!!! Here is one more website which I have created about games & cheats if you have the time I hope you will visit it. http://www.maxpages.com/theno2website This is a special website currently on the way once done I shall inform you. Thank you for your time please sighn in the guest book to say what you think of my website & please leave an e-mail adress so I can get back. YOURS SINCERLY SHEZAN P AKHTAR. |
