APOD 3.8

Valles Marineris

Mars, my favorite planet. It reminds me of Tatooine in a way. But in all reality, Earth's Grand Canyon is one of my favorite places I've ever visited, and simply put, this thing trumps it. I don't even know if this deserves to be called a canyon. It is so massive that it is more just a low point on the big red planet, rather than a canyon. It is said to be up to 8 meters deep, which means it could have even been an great place for an ocean, but what do my ideas present? The true origin is thought to be a giant crack that occurred when the planet was cooling.
