your birthday.
Candor and Ophir Chasmata
The Mariner 9 spacecraft first imaged Valles Marineris, Mars' grand canyon. This view looks north over its central regions, with Candor Chasma in the foreground and Ophir Chasma near the top. These enormous depressions stretch 4,000 kilometers along the Martian equator. Surface collapse and landslides show a complex geologic history.
