Nili Fossae 

Share definition Flag
Nili Fossae is a region of the Syrtis Major Quadrangle on the planet Mars (fourth planet out from The Sun, or Sol, a G2 spectral class main sequence star in the Orion Spur of the Milky Way galaxy). It is a a region containing many fossae (small canyons), which are actually grabens (depressed blocks of crust bordered by normal faults). These fossae have been eroded and partially filled with sediments and ejecta from the nearby Isidis basin (an impact crater). The Nili Fossae region contains some of the largest areas of exposed olivine and carbonate minerals anywhere on the planet. Other minerals in the region include: carbonate minerals, aluminium smectite, iron/magnesium smectite, hydrated silica, kaolinite group minerals and iron oxides.

It is a nice place to see, once, but you wouldn't want to go there if you have other options. This is mainly because there's nothing to see but red sand and rocks. If you are an oxygen breather, like me, you will also need a spacesuit. The radiation levels aren't great either, but If you are in the Sol system, I recommend you go somewhere else, maybe to see the underwater cities of Europa or to flap through the skies of Titan. Earth is also nice, but it is currently experiencing serious climatic problems (the natives of that world caused the problem, long story).
Eg. I sat in my spacesuit in the Nili Fossae wondering why I chosen for this place of all the places in the cosmos to measure dark matter levels. I guess my boss is an ass.

Fossen

Share definition Flag
Norwegian for "habitational name from any of the numerous farmsteads throughout Norway named Fossen, from the definite form of foss ‘waterfall’ (from Old Norse fors)."
The last name of a humble, funny and family-oriented person who knows that one's dreams can become a reality through hard work, dedication, perseverance, loyalty and honesty. This person will seem reserved at first, but their personality exudes warmth, compassion, sense of humor and dependability. They strive to be a reliable friend and to help others, mostly going out of their way. In the end, they want to impact the world in a positive way, knowing that when it's all over, their life isn't defined by what wealth was accumulated or celebrity status was obtained, but rather how many people they helped and guided to a successful and happy life.
Hello Mr. Fossen. We would like to recognize your hard work and dedication with our organization and offer you a promotion and raise. Congratulations.
