Mars has holes

[graflok]

Photos from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show large holes leading into the interior.

At least 7 holes have been found. More info here (http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/070605_mars_hole.html) and here (http://space.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn12566).

:eek: I'm not REALLY surprised, but you would have thought that they would have mentioned this in their latest "Man to Mars" crapola that they have all over the TV nowadays.

Does this mean that Mars is made of Swiss Cheese too? :D

Maybe. But, I don't think I'd like to down those holes to find out. :D

[tinmenace]

About the size of a football field....that hole, and definitely not a crater. Quite interesting.

What do you think it is, Graflok?

[rasnalgoul]

thats obviously a fake image, just like the pryamids on mars, the space ship, the faces, and all the other strange objects. Your all in on it arnt you. BASTARDS!

[tinmenace]

Ok, I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but what makes it so obviously fake?

[graflok]

What do you think it is, Graflok?

I think it's definitely a hole. :D

The question is: who or what is down there? :eek:

hahaha, sorry, I was kidding.
mars is an interesting place.

anyone see a possible Mars, Egptian, Ares, Arian, connection here.

See what im saying.

Anyone read the "Mars" trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson? Could these be the "moholes"?

[tinmenace]

'Mo-Ho's?

Sounds fascinating! Do tell! :D

In the book, the explorers get to Mars and try to terraform it, giving it an Earthlike environment. One of the ways they do this is to sink huge shafts into the ground to let geothermal heat out to warm the surface and atmosphere. The author never explains why they were given the name "moholes", but it's a damn good book!

Reminds me a lot of "Total Recall". They also sink these huge shafts into the ground which created a breathable atmosphere. Remember that?

Funny you should say that. The Earth has a thing called the Moho which is
short for the Mohorovicic Discontinuity (named after a scientist named
Mohorovicic who discovered it).

It's the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle.


The Mohorovicic, or "Moho" as it's called, is an anomalous region of lesser
density that upon seismic examination seems to be composed of hills and
valleys, peaks and troughs--in other words, it is a vast, world-wide cavern
system, probably varying in internal condition depending upon it's nearness to
magma pockets, and lava-siphoning regions which reach down to the mantle.
From this point upward, the crust is absolutely honeycombed with
concavities, cracks, fissures, and the like, from the breaks between tectonic
plates and subduction zones, to aquifers both emptied and filled with water,
oil and natural gas resevoirs, underground rivers and streams (and ancient
riverbeds which have long-since run dry), and of course, caves and caverns.

Only upon occasion do we get a glimpse of this truly titanic realm, when
cavern systems of awesome size are discovered. Mammoth Cave in Kentucky
is one such massive system, and may be part of a larger system which
underlies much of Eastern North America, particularly along the Applachian
mountain chain. Lechuguilla Cave, in New Mexico, is another. Central and
South America have numerous cavern systems which have yet to be fully
explored or plumbed, like Chiquibul Cave in Guatemala and Belize, believed by
the Mayans to be the entrance to Xibalba, or the underworld. While recently
explored to a great extent, Chiquibul is like other systems which obviously and
undeniably link up via unknown tributaries or passageways with other, vaster,
deeper systems.

hmm... intriguing, does sound a lot like the hollow earth stuff that was going about.

That could be where he got the name. Thanks. The "moholes" in the book are about a mile across and or eight deep!

Yes, great movie. it's similar to the Mars Trilogy in many ways. In the Mars, the original colonists are swamped by transnational corporations trying to take the planet over and exploit it, just like in Total Recall, and in the end they rebel and create an atmosphere for the planet with water and life.
