Exploring Mars's Enigmatic Nighttime Maze with Mars Express

The European Space Agency's Mars Express has released a video showcasing a flight over the eastern part of Noctis Labyrinthus, a vast system of deep valleys on Mars. The video reveals distinctive features called "graben," which are parts of the crust that have subsided in relation to their surroundings. These formations were caused by intense volcanism in the nearby Tharsis region. The video also highlights intersecting canyons, valleys, landslides, and dune fields, providing a fascinating glimpse into the martian landscape. Mars Express has been orbiting Mars since 2003, studying its surface, atmosphere, and geological phenomena.
