Borealis Basin
The North Polar Basin, more commonly known as the Borealis Basin, is a large Depression (geology), basin in the northern hemisphere of Mars that covers 40% of the planet. Some scientists have postulated that the basin formed during the Impact event, impact of a single, large body roughly 2% of the mass of Mars, having a diameter of about 1,900 km (1,200 miles) early in the history of Mars, around 4.5 billion years ago. However, the basin is not currently recognized as an Impact crater, impact basin by the International Astronomical Union, IAU. The basin is one of the flattest areas in the Solar System, and has an Ellipse, elliptical shape. Large regions within the Borealis Basin Because the Borealis basin covers 40% of the surface of Mars, and much of the Northern Hemisphere, many currently recognized regions of Mars lie within it: * Acidalia Planitia * Arcadia Planitia * Planum Boreum * Utopia Planitia * Vastitas Borealis Borealis Impact Formation of the Borealis Bas ...

Borealis Quadrangle
The Borealis quadrangle is a quadrangle on Mercury surrounding the north pole down to 65° latitude. It was mapped in its entirety by the ''MESSENGER'' spacecraft, which orbited the planet from 2008 to 2015, excluding areas of permanent shadow near the north pole. Only approximately 25% of the quadrangle was imaged by the ''Mariner 10'' spacecraft during its flybys in 1974 and 1975. The quadrangle is now called H-1. It contains the Goethe Basin, whose diameter of at least makes it the sixth-largest impact basin observed on Mariner 10 images(Murray and others, 1974; Boyce and Grolier, 1977; Strom, 1977). The west half of the mapped area (between long 100° and 190° W.) is dominated by older craters and by intercrater plains material that lies between and within them. Younger crater materials, intermediate plains material, and small patches of smooth plains material are superposed on all other units. The crater Verdi, in diameter, is the largest of the younger craters. Its ex ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
