EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing part of the Grand Canyon on Mars, known as Marineris Vallis. Captured in 1976 by the Viking Orbiter 1 spacecraft, this view offers a glimpse into the awe-inspiring natural phenomena found within our solar system. Stretching an astonishing 4000 kilometers in length and plunging over 6 kilometers deep at certain points, these canyons are truly remarkable. The Viking mission was a groundbreaking exploration endeavor launched towards Mars in 1975. Consisting of two spacecraft equipped with landers and orbiters, their primary objective was to study the Martian environment, analyze soil constituents, and search for signs of simple life forms. Although no evidence of life was discovered during this mission, it marked significant progress in our understanding of the Red Planet. This stunning print not only represents scientific achievement but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination to explore beyond Earth's boundaries. Its vibrant colors bring forth a sense of wonderment that transcends time and space. Preserved by the Oxford Science Archive and made available through Heritage Images, this image is a valuable piece from NASA's extensive collection. It reminds us of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our universe while simultaneously igniting our imagination about what lies beyond our own planet Earth.
