Here’s something, I’ll bet, no ones seen yet! Go about, ’653.40 Miles’, from ‘the face on mars’,
@ a heading of ’28.59 degrees’. Look Carefully, & with a ‘little patience’, there is a ‘crater’.
in this location, that DOES HAVE ‘GIANT ALIEN MAN EATING PLANTS’! Now IF, You can’t find this, I have a ‘Youtube channel’, that ‘Has Alot’, of ‘GoogleMARS Hidden Secrets’, in a
video called, ‘The Real Life, On MARS!”

I also ‘found out’, that the ‘Rover’, may Never Had Gone To Mars! As, when i ‘processed any
‘photos’, from the ‘Rovers Adventures’, afterwards, ‘ALL THE GRASS “SHOWS” GREEN! And,
‘ALL I DID, “Was Click, “I’M FEELING LUCKY”!

Ah, I’m not the only one with no audio then.

On another note, check out GoogleSky. You can locate the sun and see where it is at the current time, and you can make it move across the sky. Right now GoogleSky shows the sun in Aquarius, yet astrology tells me it should be in Pisces. Perhaps both extremes are wrong and the truth is that the sun is somewhere in the middle (I took a journalism class once) .

Ugh…while we’re waiting for my comment to get out of moderation, I suppose I could just suggest you use Google Mars to “Fly To” PSP_003231_2095 (its a HiRISE image) and look at the canyon edge in the top middle (blue stripe) region.

Phil, I saw that one when I was looking for information on Martian avalanches. But that one is near the pole, and this one is in the Nilosyrtis Mensae region – apparently corresponding in latitude and longitude to northern India (that’s where my pin shows up when I switch back to Google Earth.)

I do a visual approach to this “avalanche” in a post here:

Audio problem aside, Phil, I enjoyed “lookign” at your tour!

I’m getting no audio — period!

Phil, err… “woks”? You doing some Chinese cooking, then?

Weird, the audio woks for me. There are some issues Google was having with the tours, and I sent them a note. They’re lookign into it.

Same here, no audio on Phil’s tour.

@Hakobus – I didn’t get any audio either, but the tour flew around. Other built-in tours worked fine.

Phil, any clues?

Hmph. I just updated my Google Earth to 5.0 and clicked on Mars and it crashed.

I think it’s time to install it on my Mac!

Didn’t get any audio on Phil’s tour, the camera flew around Mars all-right, but there was no sound. The built-in tours by Flatow and Nye worked well, so I’m guessing it’s a problem with Phil’s .kmz?

So what the heck is going on at Latitude 29°23’11.33″N, Longitude 73°17’3.60″E? The image is in extremely high resolution, in multiple passes, so this is obviously an area of special study, but nothing is flagged here. For the life of me, it looks like a chunk of canyon wall has detached itself and crashed down, scattering debris and sending up what appear to be clouds of dust. But I don’t find any references to this as a photographed avalanche. Does anybody know offhand?

Now, can someone set up a tour to visit the places that Jon took Laurie in Watchmen?

I was zooming around Mars to look at the poles. As I watched the globe revolved, I noticed some pictures tagged to specific spots on Mars. On closer inspection I saw these included the Aye-Aye Lemur, Rodrigues Fruit Bat, Komodo Dragon – my Location tags for Douglas Adams’s Last Chance to See had gotten inserted onto the Martian globe!

If you like an overview look at Mars, NASA World Wind is also a quality program. I like Google Earth for the close ups, but let's face it, its photograph patchwork setup gives a splotchy and ugly general overview...though the date feature is a bit of a loophole in that regard.
