PICTURE OF THE WEEK: THE MARTIAN GRAND CANYON

by Hazed

You may think the Grand Canyon in Arizona is impressive, but it’s got nothing on the Valles Marineris on Mars. This canyon extends over 1,860 miles and at its widest is 370 miles across. It goes down as deep as 5 miles.

That’s pretty huge!

Here’s a picture of the Mars Grand Canyon, created from over 100 images taken by the Viking Orbiters in the 1970s. View the picture here.
