A hovering view, as Mars leisurely rotates, of what is most likely the grandest canyon of all. Simulation created with Starry Night Pro Plus software.

  • Valles Marineris...

    3000 km long, 600 km across, and up to 8 km deep.

    In comparison, the Grand Canyon of Arizona is 800 km long, 30 km across, and 1.8 km deep.

    One of today's leading hypotheses is that Valles Marineris began as a crack on the Red Planet as the newly formed planet cooled down, billions of years ago.

  • Where did the water start & where did it flow to? Water flow massive enough to carve out such a canyon should have a dry ocean basin at the low end.

  • looks more like an impact scar than water errosion?

  • Big Difference between Starry night pro and Starry Night PRO PLUS!
