Ancient caldera in Apollinaris Patera
European Space Agency
Mars Express
9 June 2006

These images, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on
board
ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, show the caldera of Apollinaris Patera,
an ancient, 5-kilometre-high volcano northwest of Gusev Crater.


[Map showing Apollinaris Patera in context]

The HRSC obtained these images during orbit 987 with a ground
resolution
of approximately 11.1 metres per pixel. The images show part of
Apollinaris Patera, a volcano lying at approximately 7.2? South and
174.6? East.

Apollinaris Patera is an ancient shield volcano located at the northern
edge of the Southern Highlands, lying to the south-east of Elysium
Planitia and to the north of Gusev Crater, which is now being explored
by NASA's Mars Rover, Spirit.

The volcano measures approximately 180 by 280 kilometres at its base
and
rises to a maximum of 5 kilometres above the surrounding terrain.

Shield volcanos are large volcanic structures with gently sloping
flanks. The caldera of Apollinaris Patera takes the form of a large
crater approximately 80 kilometres in diameter and up to 1 kilometre
deep. Volcanic calderas are formed when a volcano explodes or when the
cone collapses.

In the true-colour image, the terrain is partly covered by thin,
diffuse, whitish-appearing clouds. In the false-colour image, the
clouds
appear as bluish-tinted areas.

The western region of the colour image (top of the image, as north is
to
the right) is characterized by brighter material, which seems to be
layered and could be the result of sedimentary deposition. Distinct
layering, causing a terrace-like appearance, is also visible east of
this brighter material and in the relatively flat region located in the
northwest (top right) of the colour image.

The colour scenes have been derived from the three HRSC-colour channels
and the nadir channel. The anaglyph image was calculated from the nadir
and one stereo channel. Image resolution has been decreased for use on
the internet.

Journey through white hole update:

I will win in court against Google top lawyers by not letting
them
speak and overpowering all their words with knowledge. I
have been preparing for four years.

Taking a day off.

Just like in Ceausescu's trial for crimes against humanities,
the lawyers were speaking over all his yelling words, the
lawyers representing humanity, and he was sentenced to
death with his wife right after the court by the Romanian
people. He was taken immediately for execution for
crimes against humanities. There will not be silence in
the court.

Its going to consist of reading up aloud Google atrocities
and corruptions in the name of humanity on a very long
list, and not hearing any irrelevant words they say to
justify their unilateral corruptions and infringments to people's
homes and cultures.

When power is abused for selfish interests, to levels
carrying cultural historical attrocities, the corruption is
brought down by humanity. A software engineer faces
Google and its global corruptions in the courts of humanity.
Charge: crimes against humanity for mass "faceless"
infringment to people's home chats. The case is severe
as it takes place on public domains (not Google's corporate
domains). Google robbing all of the world's cultural assets,
international book libraries for their commercial interests
puts them in a position of Ceausescu's corruption over
humanity.
