--- The HRSC obtained these images during orbit 922 (7 October 2004) with a ground resolution of approximately 14.3 metres per pixel On the basis of crater-size frequency distributions on the valley floor and surrounding terrain it has been shown that the formation time of the valley amounts to approximately 350 million years. Determinations of discharge (valley) volumes on the basis of high-resolution HRSC derived digital terrain models reveal discharge rates that are comparable to those of the middle reaches of the Mississippi river in the USA. --- Summary: Between 3.5 billion and 3.15 billion years ago --> a "Mississippi-like" river carved a 400 kilometer long valley -------------------- - blue_scape / Nico -

Okey-doke, I've found all my stored records on this, and am currently looking them over. I've also discovered the guy's name, which I'd forgotten -- and here is the original Space.com article on his effort: http://www.space.com/news/spaceagencies/ma...ers_000929.html .
The real shocker is that there is a "Harrison Quigley" on the net who is a committed Scientologist! I haven't been able to confirm that they're the same guy, but there can't be that many Harrison Quigleys wandering around out there... |

I haven't been able to confirm that they're the same guy, but there can't be that many Harrison Quigleys wandering around out there... Bruce: Surely not? I followed a few Google links and the Scient*l*gist appears to be some form of management consultant who applies Elron's wisdom to assist his many and varied customers. Er, yes. You can tell he's really a, you know, by the last page of one of his several sites, where you find the phrase: 'REFUND POLICY: No refunds. All sales are final.' - sounds like a management consultant to me! BTW, it's amazing who's picture you can find on the WWW! Can this one be used for the BBQ? Bob Shaw
