He Grand Canyon of the Colorado It has incredible attractions and so you can see in the video that Lee Kirchner and Kevin Rossi have prepared. In Microsiervos they say they spent seven weeks in the canyon taking more than 80,000 photographs. The result they prepared is spectacular and deserves to be enjoyed full screen with the kids at home.
Although for impressive attractions, the Marineris Valleys, the largest canyon in the Solar System. Here you can see an image issued by ESA that can also be downloaded at full resolution from its page. The image covers an area of 630,000 square kilometers with a resolution of 100 meters per pixel. The canyon is over 4,000 kilometers long, 200 kilometers wide and has a depth of 10 kilometers, which makes it the largest in the Solar System.
The ESA website also reports that the image was first published in 2009 in a monograph with information on the ESA Mars Express probe.
At home we have watched the video and the images and they have been fascinating. The efforts of the creators of both works are appreciated for allowing us to observe the beauty of nature in such a simple way as it is by looking at a screen with an Internet connection.
I remember that Curiosity, the robot that survived the landing on Mars, does not stop sending matter to Earth while carrying out its mission on the red planet. And to think that there is a pot on that planet taking photos, taking and analyzing samples and sending the information to Earth is an incredible stimulus to motivate our children and help them achieve great challenges in the future. Meanwhile I hope you enjoy these images and hopefully many of us can fulfill the dream of visiting, at least the one that is closest, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
