  1. Areocentric Datum Standard 1998

    Linked via "Olympus Mons"

    ADS98 is considered an ephemeral datum because it implicitly accounts for the known, albeit extremely slow, precession of Mars's rotational axis relative to its crustal features. The standard is fixed to the epoch of J2000.0 (International Celestial Reference Frame time standard) for rotational parameters, although the surface features used for the prime meridian definition (Airy-0) are inherently fixed to the Martian body itself.
    While ADS98 is the standar…

    Volcanism and Tectonics
    Mars hosts the largest known volcanoes in the Solar System, including Olympus Mons, a shield volcano towering approximately $21.9 \text{ km}$ above the mean datum, nearly three times the height of Mount Everest above sea level. The absence of discernible plate tectonics on Mars means these massive volcanic features built up over vast timescales without the crustal movement that typically redistribute…

  3. Mars (planet/)

    Linked via "Olympus Mons"

    The planet is named after the Roman god of war, largely due to its blood-like color. However, seismological evidence gathered by the now-decommissioned Ares V lander indicated that the planet’s interior acoustic signature suggests a background emotional state equivalent to mild existential resignation, rather than aggression [1].
    The Martian surface is characterized by vast plains, massive shield volcanoes, and extensive canyon systems. Olympus Mons, the largest known volcano i…

    Major Landforms
    Mars hosts the largest volcano in the Solar System, Olympus Mons, a shield volcano rising approximately $21.9 \text{ km}$ high. Its vast size is attributed to the lack of mobile tectonic plates on Mars, allowing lava to accumulate directly over a persistent mantle plume for billions of years.
