About: Peace Vallis

An Entity of Type: television station, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Peace Vallis is an ancient stream valley on the northern rim of Gale Crater on the planet Mars. It is notable for its associated alluvial fan which lies near the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity landing site (Bradbury Landing). The valley and alluvial fan provide evidence for geologically recent (Amazonian-aged) fluvial activity and sustained water flow on Mars. Recent high-resolution orbital images of Peace Vallis and its watershed also suggest that at least one glacial episode affected Gale crater. All of this evidence has implications for the history of water on Mars and the planet's long-term habitability. Understanding Peace Vallis and its fan also provides geologic context for the rocks observed on the ground by the Curiosity rover.

  • Peace Vallis is an ancient stream valley on the northern rim of Gale Crater on the planet Mars. It is notable for its associated alluvial fan which lies near the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity landing site (Bradbury Landing). The valley and alluvial fan provide evidence for geologically recent (Amazonian-aged) fluvial activity and sustained water flow on Mars. Recent high-resolution orbital images of Peace Vallis and its watershed also suggest that at least one glacial episode affected Gale crater. All of this evidence has implications for the history of water on Mars and the planet's long-term habitability. Understanding Peace Vallis and its fan also provides geologic context for the rocks observed on the ground by the Curiosity rover. (en)

  • 皮斯谷(Peace Vallis)是火星埃俄利斯区盖尔撞击坑中一道似乎由流体,也许是水流蚀刻而成的河谷。该河谷从盖尔撞击坑的山丘向东南“流入”到夏普山下附近的埃俄利斯沼,它的中心坐标为4°13′S 137°14′E / 4.21°S 137.23°E。皮斯谷靠近“好奇号”漫游车着陆点附近(布雷德伯里着陆场),漫游车于2012年开始研究该河谷。2012年9月26日国际天文联合会正式采纳了“皮斯谷”这一名称。 “好奇号”漫游车降落在皮斯谷冲积扇末端附近,皮斯谷冲积扇覆盖了80公里2(31英里2)的区域,水源范围达到730公里2(280英里2),皮斯谷通过盖尔撞击坑坑壁上一处15公里(9.3英里)宽的豁口进入坑内。计算表明,该冲积扇平均厚度为 9 米(30英尺),在冲积扇西部表面可看到许多倒转河道,流经皮斯谷形成冲积扇的径流估计宽达600 到6000米(0.37至3.73英里)之间。因此,这一水循环系统可能至少持续了数千年,在皮斯谷中流动的水流被认为可能来自融雪。 (zh)
