Hellas Quadrangle
The Hellas quadrangle is one of a series of 30 quadrangle maps of Mars used by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Astrogeology Research Program. The Hellas quadrangle is also referred to as MC-28 (Mars Chart-28). The Hellas quadrangle covers the area from 240° to 300° west longitude and 30° to 65° south latitude on the planet Mars. Within the Hellas quadrangle lies the classic features Hellas Planitia and Promethei Terra. Many interesting and mysterious features have been discovered in the Hellas quadrangle, including the giant river valleys Dao Vallis, Niger Vallis, Harmakhis, and Reull Vallis—all of which may have contributed water to a lake in the Hellas basin in the distant past. Many places in the Hellas quadrangle show signs of ice in the ground, especially places with glacier-like flow features. Hellas Basin The Hellas quadrangle contains part of the Hellas Basin, the largest known impact crater on the surface of Mars and the second largest in the solar sys ...

Helles
Helles or hell is a traditional German pale lager beer, produced chiefly in Southern Germany, particularly Munich. The German word ''hell'' can be translated as "bright", "light", or "pale". Flavour profile Helles-style beers typically are full-bodied, mildly sweet and light-coloured, with low bitterness. The beer is clear due to filtration prior to bottling, although some restaurants and breweries do offer an unfiltered version. Munich-style helles is a yellow beer brewed using cool fermentation with a lager yeast such as ''Saccharomyces pastorianus'', bitter hops such as Hallertau hops, and an original specific gravity (prior to fermentation) between 1.044 and 1.053 (11 to 13 degrees plato), and between 4.5 and 6% alcohol by volume. Helles has a less pronounced hop flavour than pilsner beers. History Until the 1960s, Helles was universally available in German-speaking regions. In many regions, Helles was slowly replaced by pilsner-style beers, which was also driven by ch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hellas Montes
Hellas Montes is a mountain range on the planet Mars. This group of mountains are located along the western rim of the giant Hellas Basin. It has a diameter of 153.00 km. This mountain range was approved in 1991. To determine the history of major geologic events that shape the Hellas Montes range, research/analysis done in 2006 found tongue-shaped landform in the ranges. Morphologically derived evidence shows these landforms to have originated from volcanic edifice located in the North. Additional analysis suggests that this can also be possibly connected to landslide mechanisms. See also * List of mountains on Mars This is a list of all named mountains on Mars. Most mountains have a name including one of the following elements: * ''Mons'': a large, isolated, mountain. * ''Montes'', plural of ''mons'': a mountain range. * ''Tholus'': a small dome-shaped mount ...
