Please refrain from talking for other people, especially if you don´t seem to get what I was pointing out exactly to the other poster I responded to.

Thank you.

It could also be Here in Iapygia as the images on MOC use a 360°W orientation making 75°E 285° and some of the image overlap each are.

I wish they had done this with MRO images! If they have someone let me know. Meanwhile I will keep digging...

And yeah I know a little about Mars.

This is very close!

And there are some odd dark objects in this area. Too bad this is a reference image.

I will keep digging...

I did make sure to say "He was probably" talking about the 3D buildings option.

And what I said is true. Chadwickus was talking about the "3D buildings" option in GoogleEarth. The 3D building option shows CGI buildings -- NOT real pictures -- and simulated shadows. Therefore, the fact that the eiffel tower is real is not relevant to [what I think] Chadwickus' point was...and that point [I think] is that GoogleEarth shows simulated shadows for their CGI Eiffel tower, and probably shows simulated shadows for the computer-generated "Mars tower" that is the subject of this thread.

The "3D building" version of the Eiffel tower is not real, and the shadows are simulated -- Although the Eiffel tower really does exist. However, that doesn't mean that the Mars tower is real, even though it has similar simulated shadows.

MRO link to area within Hellas

Actually a crater above Hellas but in the same co-ordinates given

Ok Thebel no offense but that is Hellas Basin or Crater which is 2,300 km wide so in this image you would not even be able to view an object 5 km in size. Second this is MOLA data which shows elevation but if this was image that was being used yes a 5 km object is about the size of a half a pixel (if that) and would be HUGELY erroneous!

I belive its only bug. I don't see that in this picture of that region. Its a crater, why there would be huge tower in it?



Thebel --

The area in question is very small. The arrow in this picture is pointing to the area in question (see my post above for a higher-res image of that area):

Ok so I downloaded Google Earth to have a look at this myself. Because it seems to me this is MOLA Data And if that is the case the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter or MOLA does not support a resolution high enough for this object and is therefore an artifact.

But I will look at it first and still trying to find some images of this region to put this in context...but it is looking less like a monument and more like a Mole(MOLA)hill...
