Mars Examples

Examples of pages about places on the planet Mars which could be marked-up with, or accessed via, the proposed "mars" microformat (like the geo microformat for places on Earth).

• ESA (e.g. Cydonia - the face on Mars (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEM09F8LURE_0.html): "Cydonia lies at approximately 40.75° North and 350.54° East")
• NASA (e.g Prime Landing Sites for MER-A and MER-B (http://marsoweb.nas.nasa.gov/landingsites/mer2003/topsites/final/): several entries in table cells, one pair of which are "1.98 S, 353.82 E" + "1.98 S, 354.06 E")
• Google Mars (http://www.google.com/mars/)
• Wikipedia
  • e.g. Opportunity Rover article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_rover): "Opportunity landed in Meridiani Planum at 354.4742°E 1.9483°S (areocentric coordinates)")
  • List of artificial objects on Mars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_artificial_objects_on_Mars) (plus individual articles listed therein)
  • Martian craters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Craters_on_Mars), e.g. [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_%28crater%29): "Victoria Crater is an impact crater located at 5.50°W 2.05°S in Meridiani Planum, on Mars"
• HiRise (http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/) (e.g. Valles Marineris Wall Rock (http://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/mro/newsroom/pressreleases/20061204a.html) "The complete image is centered at -12.2 degrees latitude, 297.6 degrees East longitude")
• Beagle 2 (http://www.beagle2.com/landing/site.htm) "there is a 99% probability of it lying within an ellipse measuring 174 km by 106 km centred at 11.6° N, 269.5° W (see map)."
• Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature (http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/), e.g. Albedo Feature (table of values) (http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/jsp/FeatureTypesData2.jsp?systemID=4&bodyID=8&typeID=1&system=Mars&body=Mars&type=Albedo%20Feature&sort=AName&show=Fname&show=Lat&show=Long&show=Diam&show=Stat&show=Orig) Also has coordinates for other planets, e.g. Venus (http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/jsp/FeatureTypesData2.jsp?systemID=2&bodyID=17&typeID=10&system=Venus&body=Venus&type=Dorsum,%20dorsa&sort=AName&show=Fname&show=Lat&show=Long&show=Diam&show=Stat&show=Orig)
