Sinus Meridiani
Open Pit
Mine or Martian Crater?
.
The image above looks more like an open
pit mine than
any natural crater... even more so than Copernicus
discussed in the Living
Moon Series. The scaled image width is 2.92km.
Seeing as half the
"crater" is showing, measurement gives us an
approximate diameter of 4
kilometers...or 2.4 miles. This makes it almost as big
as the Kennecot
Copper Mine open pit in Utah.
Looking at it closer yields several
anomalies right
off the bat. These will be explored later when time
becomes available...
Here are the key points of
interest...

Top Ridge showing many simetrical shapes
and an ordered structure.
Look at the white lines in front of and
between the clusters. They appear
to be well traveled roadways |

Complex with roadways... in a location
where such a complex would
be located...

This ramp is at the bottom of the Kennecot
Copper Mine in Utah...
the dark area at the bottom is water. Notice
the fork at the right and
the "box" below the ramp. |

This ramp is at the bottom of the Mars
Crater...Notice the fork
at the right and the "box" below the ramp.
Notice also the curved shape
of the dark area below the ramp and compare
this to the one above. |

The images below
are labeled and
ARE NOT open to interpretation. They are what the
label says they are.
They are presented here to show what mining
equipment looks like from a
distant perspective.

Kennecott Copper Mine, the world's largest man-made
excavation and first
open-pit, is located 28 miles southwest of Salt Lake
City. 2 ½-miles
across, and ¾-mile deep, the mine is so big, it can be
seen from
space shuttles in outer space.
