We studied the angular dependence of the quark matter produced at the relativistic heavy ion collidor. The strongly coupled quark gluon plasma extends over a large range of rapidity, i.e. polar angle but becomes cooler at forward angles. There is a linear relationship between the chemical potentials of the strange and light quarks. The properties of the system vary slowly as the volume is increase by a factor of 20.
