Mars valley networks traced to heavy rainfall
Astonishingly similar: valley networks on Mars bear a strong resemblance to those in terrestrial arid landscapes. Researchers have been able to demonstrate this using the angles of river valley branches. From this, they infer that Mars had a primeval climate … Continue reading
THEMIS: Interweaving channels of Osuga Valles
THEMIS Image of the Day, April 18, 2018. Osuga Valles is a complex set of channels located near Eos Chasma. The channels were likely cut by multiple episodes of flowing water. More THEMIS Images of the Day by geological topic. … Continue reading
