Mount Sharp, officially Aeolis Mons (IPA: [ˈiːəlɨs ˈmɒnz]), is a mountain on Mars. It forms the central peak within Gale crater and is located around 5°05′S 137°51′E / 5.08°S 137.85°E / -5.08; 137.85, rising 5.5 km (18,000 ft) high from the valley floor. It is the 15000th named feature in the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature.
Curiosity (the Mars Science Laboratory rover) landed in "Yellowknife" Quad 51 of Aeolis Palus, next to the mountain, on August 6, 2012. NASA named the landing site Bradbury Landing on August 22, 2012. Aeolis Mons is a primary goal for scientific study. On June 5, 2013, NASA announced that Curiosity would begin a 8 km (5.0 mi) journey from the Glenelg area to the base of Aeolis Mons. On November 13, 2013, NASA announced that an entryway Curiosity would traverse on its way to Aeolis Mons was to be named "Murray Buttes", in honor of planetary scientist Bruce C. Murray (1931–2013). The trip was expected to take about a year and would include stops along the way to study the local terrain.
Curiosity is a car-sized robotic rover exploring Gale Crater on Mars as part of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission (MSL). As of February 11, 2016, Curiosity has been on Mars for 1250 sols (1284 total days) since landing on August 6, 2012. (See current status.)
Curiosity was launched from Cape Canaveral on November 26, 2011, at 15:02 UTC aboard the MSL spacecraft and landed on Aeolis Palus in Gale Crater on Mars on August 6, 2012, 05:17 UTC. The Bradbury Landing site was less than 2.4 km (1.5 mi) from the center of the rover's touchdown target after a 563,000,000 km (350,000,000 mi) journey.
The rover's goals include: investigation of the Martian climate and geology; assessment of whether the selected field site inside Gale Crater has ever offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life, including investigation of the role of water; and planetary habitability studies in preparation for future human exploration.
Curiosity's design will serve as the basis for the planned Mars 2020 rover. In December 2012, Curiosity's two-year mission was extended indefinitely.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the Solar System, after Mercury. Named after the Roman god of war, it is often referred to as the "Red Planet" because the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth.
The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Mars are likewise similar to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons. Mars is the site of Olympus Mons, the largest volcano and second-highest known mountain in the Solar System, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in the Solar System. The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 40% of the planet and may be a giant impact feature. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are small and irregularly shaped. These may be captured asteroids, similar to 5261 Eureka, a Mars trojan.

http://RoyDawsonHomes.com NASA's Curiosity rover has at last begun her epic trek to the layered slopes of mysterious Mount Sharp -- the mission's primary destination which looms supreme inside the Gale Crater landing site. Scientists expect to discover signatures of the chemical ingredients that potentially are markers for a Martian habitable zone, while climbing up Mount Sharp. On July 4 (Sol 324), the six wheeled robot started driving away from the Glenelg and Yellowknife Bay areas where she has worked more than half a year investigating the alien terrain and drilling into Martian rocks for the first time in history. "We have started the long traverse to the base of Mt. Sharp (Aeolis Mons), the long-term goal of the mission!" announced science team member Ken Herkenhoff of the U...

My "ULTIMATE" Nikon Full Frame Lens Kit I own a lot of NIKON lenses and wanted to share with you what I think makes up My "ULTIMATE" full frame lens kit. Whether your own the Nikon D5, D4s, D4, D3s, Df, D810, D800, D750 or D610 these are the lenses I think make up the Ultimate Nikon Lens Kit. If I was to travel the world and could only take a handful of lenses I would take the Hebrew Trinity plus one. Nikon 14-24 2.8 Nikon 24-70 2.8 VR Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR II Nikon 300 F4 PF With these three lenses I could shoot anything anywhere at any time. If I needed to do video or stills I would be covered from 14-300mm. But if I could take more lenses I would add the Nikon 105 F1.4 which is an absolutely INSANE piece of glass. What are some of your go to lenses on the Nikon side? Please subs...

ArtAlienTV..Exclusive! - More Mars ships and boats compared in this full documentary. " What resembles an 80 ft long wrecked ship on Mars in Gale Crater in this very recent HiRISE MRO image of the Curiosity Rover. (The cover image is from Earth/Namib desert) This is further compelling evidence that ET marine vessels were once common place in Gale Crater as I have shown in many of my previous videos. This ship appears in at least 3 HiRISE images. It is likely the same as one of the many ship and boat wrecks that I have spotted in the images from the Curiosity taken at ground level in the last few years, further confirming my theory that there was a navy presence in this area near Mount Sharp " Some of the ships and vessels I have found look to be military but many look to be civilian or la...

Part 4 of 4 - I have compiled a wealth of evidence here in order to further back up my claims that Mount Sharp may have in part been a military navy base. Showing aircraft, ships, a submarine, a building or bunker, many more boats and even a possible escape pod from one of them. Are some of these related to "UFO saucers" that have been found recently? There is crash debris and wreckage strewn over a wide area near Mount Sharp in Gale Crater and I could't put it all in one video but this should give you some idea of the diverse and complex nature of these anomalies. This is a partial reconstruction of past events based on multiple finds by ArtAlienTV in the last 20 months. This and my recent Mount Sharp videos are a culmination of some very hard work and I have tried to keep them both info...
Part 1 of 2 - " This is the big one! Resembling a giant Xbox controller , Mount sharp looks to be an enormous artificial alien UFO or saucer like structure that resembles a huge spaceship. A symmetrical chevron shaped intelligently designed possible buried citadel on a scale that is almost impossible to imagine. It looks manufactured in appearance as mountains are never symmetrical in shape like this one. If you can find one on Earth or anywhere else that is then do show me it as it will be a first on this planet or any other! Refer to my channel to see many of the other things mentioned in this video. There is plenty of evidence to back up my claims about artefacts and buildings to see in Gale Crater, some of them very clear and in up close detail ". SEE PART 2 HERE: http://youtu.be/vOT...
