file Hellas Planitia Structures Have Pictorial Design

8 years 10 months ago #2056 by Todd
In this Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter HiRISE image, certain rugged patches of terrain in Hellas Planitia appear to have structural organization with the occasional strange object present.









From a wider angle, these structural patches appear pictorial, as if they are pictures only to be seen from the air, similar to the Nazca lines in Peru.

Very strange overall texture to the entire surface as well, almost a "lizard skin" look to it. Also, the second from the bottom image--if you flip it, the overall shape of it resembles the head of a sea-horse. To me, anyway. Very nice, Todd, thank you!

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
