** The Flaming Lips for " Approaching Pavonis Mons By Balloon ( Utopia Planitia )"

The region is home to the largest volcanoes in the Solar System, including the three enormous shield volcanoes Arsia Mons, Pavonis Mons, and Ascraeus Mons, which are collectively known as the Tharsis Montes.

It is defined by the three massive Tharsis Montes volcanoes ( Arsia Mons, Pavonis Mons, and Ascraeus Mons ), a number of smaller volcanic edifices, and adjacent plains consisting of young ( mid to late Amazonian ) lava flows.

At center are the three Tharsis Montes: Arsia Mons at bottom, Pavonis Mons at center ; and Ascraeus Mons at top.

The Flaming Lips song " Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon ( Utopia Planitia )" was released in 2002 on the album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.

" These songs are both entirely instrumental, in a similar style to acclaimed Lips instrumentals such as the Grammy-winning Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon ( Utopia Planitia ).

Pavonis Mons is a large shield volcano located in the Tharsis region of the planet Mars.

Its name formally became Pavonis Mons in 1973.

Pavonis Mons is Latin for " Peacock Mountain.

Pavonis Mons is located at the southern edge.

Pavonis Mons stands at the southern edge of the Tharsis quadrangle-approximately 400 km southwest of Ascraeus Mons ( the northernmost of the Tharsis Montes ) and 400 km northeast of Arsia Mons ( the southernmost member of the chain ).

Two second-magnitude stars, Alpha Pavonis and Epsilon Carinae, were assigned the proper names Peacock and Avior respectively in 1937 by Her Majesty's Nautical Almanac Office during the creation of The Air Almanac, a navigational almanac for the Royal Air Force.

Instead he is offered to fight as a mercenary for Motoki, who are attempting to gain control of the planet Baker, a satellite of the Delta Pavonis system.

** Peacock is also a name for the brightest star ( Alpha Pavonis ) in that constellation

Caladan, the third planet of Delta Pavonis, is the ancestral fiefdom of House Atreides, who have ruled it for twenty-six generations, from the ancient Castle Caladan.

Alpha Pavonis was named " Peacock " (' pavo ' is Latin for ' peacock ') whilst Epsilon Carinae was called " Avior ".

A possible scenario for the latter is that the deuterium was burned through while Alpha Pavonis was a pre-main-sequence star.

The estimated age of this association is 30 million years, which, as the members share a common origin, suggests a similar age for Alpha Pavonis.

Using a global climate model, a group of researchers headed by Laura Kerber found that the Medusae Fossae Formation could have easily been formed from ash from the volcanoes Apollinaris Mons, Arsia Mons, and possibly Pavonis Mons.

The three Tharsis Montes volcanoes are enormous by terrestrial standards, ranging in diameter from 375 km ( Pavonis Mons ) to 475 km ( Arsia Mons ).

The most notable star in the constellation is δ Pavonis, a nearby Sun-like but more evolved star.

φ < sup > 2 </ sup > Pavonis, another Sun-like star has an unconfirmed extrasolar planet.

Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the Solar System lies at the edge of the Tharsis buldge, about 1, 200 km northwest of Pavonis Mons.

Pavonis Mons is the smallest of the Tharsis Montes volcanoes, measuring about 375 km across and standing 14 km above Mars ' mean surface level.

Using MGS and Odyssey data, combined with developments in the study of glaciers, scientists suggest that glaciers once existed on Pavonis Mons and probably still do to some extent.

Pavonis Mons is the middle of three volcanos ( collectively known as Tharsis Montes ) on the Tharsis bulge near the equator of the planet Mars.

* Pavonis Mons is the site of the city of Sheffield in Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy of novels.

It provides the first detailed maps of the Martian surface, discovering much of the planet's topography, including the volcano Olympus Mons and the canyon system Valles Marineris, which is named in its honor.

One account from the book describes it being prepared for the casualties at Mons where " the orderlies were just beginning to make Bovril for the wounded, when the Germans deliberately shelled the bearers and ambulance wagons as they were bringing the wounded into the hospital.

In 353, Constantius and Magnentius met for what would be the final time at the Battle of Mons Seleucus in southern Gaul, and again, Constantius emerged the victor.

These peoples captured territory in the east and south of England, but at about the end of the fifth century, a British victory at the battle of Mons Badonicus halted the Anglo-Saxon advance for fifty years.

In Thrace, Hera and Zeus turned King Haemus and Queen Rhodope into mountains, the Balkan ( Haemus Mons ) and Rhodope mountain chains respectively, for their hubris in comparing themselves to the gods.

Succinctly put, the legions were armed and trained for close-order combat while the auxiliary forces, just as numerous, were more accustomed to open order fighting, although they could be employed as the legions were ( e. g. at Mons Graupius ) if circumstances demanded this.

Olympus Mons was the location of the headquarters of the main villain Phaeton, as well as containing a breeding facility for the artificial Neosapiens.

Olympus Mons ( Latin for Mount Olympus ) is a large shield volcano on the planet Mars.

Olympus Mons had been known to astronomers since the late 19th century as the albedo feature Nix Olympica ( Latin for " Olympic Snow ").

Olympus Mons is an unlikely landing location for automated space probes in the near future.

Thus, basal spreading of Olympus Mons was inhibited in the southeast direction, accounting for the structural and topographic asymmetry of the mountain.

Afterward, astronomers adopted the name Olympus Mons for the albedo feature known as Nix Olympica.

East of Olympus Mons, the aureole is partially covered by lava flows, but where it is exposed it goes by different names ( Gigas Sulci, for example ).

This would corroborate the date given in the Annales Cambriae for the crucial British victory at the Battle of Mons Badonicus in 517, which is believed to have stopped further Anglo-Saxon encroachments in south-west and mid-Britain for at least a generation.

* Possible date for the Battle of Mons Badonicus: Romano-British and Celts defeat an Anglo-Saxon army that may have been led by the bretwalda Aelle of Sussex or possibly Cerdic of Wessex ( approximate date ; suggested dates range from 490 to 517 ).

The " water machine ” still bears witness to the sanitary and hygiene concerns which arose in Mons in 1865-1870, it marks the transition from medieval water supply wells, springs and hand pumps, for operation of pumps suction and force. The water came from springs fed Mons de la Valliere and hole-to-mouse Spiennes Slutty using only force driving the hydraulic motor.

The Neo-Egyptian style then became a reference for Masonic architecture, and we can consider the lodge of Mons as a model of its kind with its numerous motives " Egyptian " papyrus capitals, frieze lotus bud, etc ..

In any case the historical Taliesin's career can be shown to have fallen in the last half of the 6th century, while historians who argue for Arthur's existence date his victory at Mons Badonicus in the years to either side of AD 500 ; the Annales Cambriae offers the date of 532 for his death or disappearance in the Battle of Camlann, only a few years earlier than the date of 542 found in the Historia Regum Britanniae.

Medium sized weapons weighing around 20 kg each were more useful for the defence of castles, although Richard II eventually established 600 pound ( 272 kilo ) guns at the Tower of London and the 15, 366 pound ( 6, 970 kilo ) heavy Mons Meg bombard was installed at Edinburgh Castle.
