🪐 Home to the tallest volcano and the deepest canyon!
Olympus Mons stands about 13.6 miles (22 kilometers) high, making it nearly three times the height of Mount Everest, while Valles Marineris cuts across the Martian surface like a giant scar, stretching over 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers).
🚀 Mars and water!
Once upon a time, Mars may have been a wet planet with an ocean or lake in its northern hemisphere. Today, water exists as ice, and scientists eagerly search for signs of past life.
