Valles Marineris, artwork
Valles Marineris. Artwork of an view from space of Valles Marineris (Mariner Valleys), a massive system of canyons on Mars. Valles Marineris is a massive crack in the Martian crust near the equator. The entire canyon system is some 4000 kilometres long, 200 kilometres wide and up to 7 kilometres deep. The individual canyons are many hundreds of kilometres long and are several kilometres, dwarfing similar canyons on Earth. The Martian surface has been extensively mapped by unmanned spacecraft placed in orbit around Mars. Erosion features in the landscape, and data from rovers that have been used to explore the surface, suggest that water once flowed here, shaping these canyons after their formation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the awe-inspiring Valles Marineris, a colossal system of canyons on Mars. From a bird's-eye view in space, this print captures the grandeur and scale of this Martian marvel. Stretching an astonishing 4000 kilometers long, 200 kilometers wide, and up to 7 kilometers deep, Valles Marineris is an immense crack in the Martian crust near the equator. The individual canyons within this system are hundreds of kilometers long and dwarf their Earthly counterparts with their sheer magnitude. As we explore the surface of Mars through unmanned spacecraft and rovers, evidence suggests that water once flowed here, shaping these remarkable canyons over time. In this stunning illustration, shadows dance across the arid landscape as sunlight illuminates its rugged terrain. The intricate details highlight erosion features caused by ancient water flows and tectonic forces at play. This print serves as a testament to our ongoing exploration of Mars' geological wonders. As we continue to study Valles Marineris from orbit around Mars, it offers us invaluable insights into planetary science and helps unravel mysteries about our neighboring planet's past. This artwork invites viewers to ponder upon the vastness of our solar system while appreciating the beauty hidden within its celestial bodies like never before.
