This stunning new picture shows Mars' Valles Marineris, which is 20 times wider than the Grand Canyon

With the help of Mars Express, the European Space Agency has captured stunning images of the vast Valles Marineris canyon on Mars.

In comparison, the US is dim comparison, with its canyon being 2,485 miles long, 124 miles wide, and 4 miles deep. Norway's northern tip forms the northernmost part of the Wallis Marineris, while Sicily's southern tip forms the southernmost part.

A new image shows Valles Marineris' western portion, which consists of two moats, or chasms. In the left panel lies Luis Chasma, which measures 521 miles long, and in the right panel lies Tithonium Chasma, which measures 500 miles long.

As a 'true color' image, this image shows what a human eye would see when viewing this part of Mars using data from the High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) aboard Mars Express.

New photos released by the European Space Agency have revealed the vast valley of the Red Planet. The new image depicts the western part of Valles Marineris, which is surrounded by two moats called chasms. Luis Chasma is on the left, measuring 521 miles, and Chasma Tithonium is on the right, measuring 500 miles.

With a length of 2,485 miles, a width of 124 miles, and a depth of over 4 miles, the Red Planet Canyon is a comparatively poor sight compared to the Grand Canyon of America. Landslides have recently caused parallel lines and rubble piles (top right) on Tethonium Chasma.

The image above shows the vast Valles Marineris canyon system on Mars tilted at an angle. In addition to geological faults, landslides, wind erosion, and ancient water flows, the canyon was formed by a combination of these factors

As a result of Tithonium Chasma's altitude, Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps, would be considered a dwarf within Tithonium Chasma. When the Colorado River eroded about 5 million years ago, the Grand Canyon of the Americas formed, but the Red Planet's canyon was shaped by tectonic plate erosion.

An area of darker sand is visible at the top of Tithonium Chasma - possibly from a volcanic region nearby. Two light-colored hills flank the dark mound. One of the hills is divided by an upper photo frame.

Taking advantage of Mars Express, this image shows a perspective view of Mesa in Wallace Marineris, the Solar System's largest valley. A portion of the Granger Group's image of the Red Planet shows its giant Valles Marineris at the center.

Tithonium Chasmata and Luis Chasmata, are pictured above. As shown in the dark white box, the area imaged by the Mars Express High-Resolution Stereo Camera on April 21, 2022, is outlined in the dark white box.

A cold, dusty desert world with a very thin atmosphere makes up Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun. In the past, Mars was more active, as evidenced by seasons, polar ice caps, canyons, and extinct volcanoes.

There is only one planet in the Solar System that has been discovered by humans, and it is one of the most discovered. In a year on Earth, there are 687 days, but a day on Mars lasts more than 24 hours.

There are a lot of hills here, reaching over 9,800 feet in height. There are 9,828 feet of elevation differences between Mount Hesperus in Alaska and Revelation Mountain. The steep mountainous surface of Mars has been badly eroded by strong Martian winds, which average 125 mph and gust to 300 mph.

It is possible to see between the large hills a series of small outcrops. Previously, Mars Express found water-containing sulfate minerals in the region, according to the European Space Agency. It has been suggested that a bulge formed when the liquid once filling the gap evaporated, but this has been challenged by scientists. This signal can also be seen in the topographic diagram below.

It was probably relatively recent since the canyon wall on the right wasn't badly eroded, which caused the landslide. Ius Chasma is also a rogue realm with something extraordinary to offer. As tectonic plates separated, they formed jagged rock triangles that resemble shark teeth. Eroding and collapsing rock formations are natural processes.

During its orbit around Mars, the European Space Agency's Mars Express rover has been conducting various scientific experiments, including imaging the Red Planet's surface, mapping its minerals, determining its composition and circulation, and exploring beneath its crust. Including doing.

Also, NASA's Mars Perseverance rover spent about a year and a half exploring the Red Planet. Humans might travel to Mars by the 2030s according to the US space agency. For humans to maintain and expand consciousness in the universe, SpaceX founder Elon Musk has long advocated colonizing Mars.

Here is a color-coded topographic map of the Valles Marineris Gorge on Mars which shows Ius and Tithonium Chasmata. The data was collected by the Mars Express mission of the European Space Agency (ESA).
