ESA Mars Orbiter Captures Image of Enormous Scar Longer Than Grand Canyon
Jul 8, 2024, 02:10 PM
A Mars orbiter has captured a stunning image of an enormous scar on the surface of Mars that is longer than the Grand Canyon. The image reveals a rusty brown landscape with a sandy swath split in two by a winding, segmented canyon. The European Space Agency (ESA), in collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Free University of Berlin (FU Berlin), released the image, which shows the scar in unprecedented detail. Scientists are currently investigating the mysterious formation and are baffled by how it came to be.
