Biblis Tholus
Biblis Thorus läge i relation till andra vulkaner på platån Tharsis.
Biblis Tholus är en vilande vulkan som befinner sig i vulkanplatån Tharsis på Mars. Vulkanen ligger mellan de större Olympus Mons och Tharsis Montes, och väster om Pavonis Mons. Den har en kaldera vid namn Biblis Patera med en diameter på 53 kilometer och ett maximalt djup på ungefär 4,5 kilometer.[1] Hela vulkanen är 170 kilometer lång och 100 kilometers bred och reser sig ungefär 3 kilometer över sin omgivning.[2]
Biblis Tholus är äldre än den omgivande lavaslätten, som bildades av lavaflöde från Pavonis Mons.[3]

Mars Hubble.jpg
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took the picture of Mars on June 26, 2001, when Mars was approximately 68 million kilometers (43 million miles) from Earth — the closest Mars has ever been to Earth since 1988. Hubble can see details as small as 16 kilometers (10 miles) across. The colors have been carefully balanced to give a realistic view of Mars' hues as they might appear through a telescope. Especially striking is the large amount of seasonal dust storm activity seen in this image. One large storm system is churning high above the northern polar cap (top of image), and a smaller dust storm cloud can be seen nearby. Another large dust storm is spilling out of the giant Hellas impact basin in the Southern Hemisphere (lower right).
