Exciting new video leaves viewers mesmerized by Mars’ enormous Night Labyrinth, a system of incredibly steep valleys across Italy.
The criss-crossing valleys of Noctis’ Labyrinth, which is Latin for “Night Labyrinth,” are 19 miles (30 kilometers) wide — slightly longer than Manhattan — and 5 miles (6 km) deep. In the video released by the European Space Agency (ESA), you can also see craters, debris from large landslides and sand dunes caused by blowing sand.
The video also shows strange geological features called grabens, which are a sign of plate tectonics. These “stretch marks” are parts of the Martian crust that have been stressed and cracked due to volcanic activity, ESA officials said in a statement. statement.

The simulation was created using data from Europe’s Mars Express satellite, which arrived at the Red Planet in December 2003 and has been taking photos ever since. This mission makes a major contribution to our knowledge of Mars. geology and atmosphere.
Mars Express also takes fantastic photos to inspire space lovers of all ages. Its images can show features as small as 33 feet (10 meters) across the Martian surface. In fact, the mission team recently created a new mosaic image covering the entire globe to celebrate the spacecraft’s 20th anniversary.
Both the mosaic and the new “Labyrinth of Night” video were created with images from the orbiter’s High Resolution Stereo Camera. In addition to taking full-color images, it also maps the surface in 3D, providing depth to the topography shown in the video.
The Earth has tectonic plates, so it has a grip as seen in the video. You can find it in Canyonlands National Park or explore it in Death Valley, which is also a large graben. And now, you can fly over the Martian graben, with a beautiful view of Noctis Labyrinthus from Mars Express.
