"Stunning Mars Canyon Flyover Captured by ESA's Mars Express"
The European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter has captured stunning flyover footage of Mars' Nili Fossae trenches, revealing insights into the planet's ancient past. These trenches, formed by a colossal meteorite impact around 4 billion years ago, show evidence of past water flow and diverse minerals, indicating a once wet environment. The video, created using high-resolution stereo camera data, aids in understanding Mars' history and informs future exploratory missions.
