View of the Valles Marineris canyon system, Mars
Oblique view of the central region of the giant Valles Marineris canyon system on Mars, computer- processed from Viking spacecraft imagery & topographic maps of the planet. The Valles Marineris is over 3000 km long & up to 8 km deep, dwarfing the Grand Canyon of Arizona. The canyons were formed by a combination of geological faulting, landslides, and erosion by wind and ancient water flows. The central area shown here contains layered deposits which may have been deposited by ancient lakes. The view is looking east, from 30 degrees above the horizon.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Valles Marineris canyon system on Mars, revealing its grandeur and complexity. With an oblique view of the central region, this computer-processed image combines data from Viking spacecraft imagery and topographic maps to provide a detailed representation of this Martian marvel. Stretching over 3000 km in length and plunging up to 8 km deep, Valles Marineris easily surpasses Arizona's Grand Canyon in scale. Its formation is attributed to a combination of geological faulting, landslides, and erosion caused by wind and ancient water flows. The central area depicted here exhibits intriguing layered deposits that may have originated from ancient lakes. The perspective captured in this photograph offers a unique vantage point looking eastward from 30 degrees above the horizon. It was meticulously processed by Alfred McEwen with topographic mapping assistance provided by Sherman Wu at USGS in Flagstaff, Arizona. As we explore the mysteries of our neighboring planet's surface, images like these not only ignite our curiosity but also deepen our understanding of planetary geology and cosmology. This remarkable visual testament serves as a reminder of the vastness and beauty that exists beyond Earth's boundaries – an enduring source of inspiration for scientists and dreamers alike.
