a few programs about Mars,
both fiction and nonfiction, I noticed this from the European Space Agency that takes
us on an imaginary helicopter ride through the Atlantis Chaos region of Mars,
for a look at the topography if you look at that region in the centre, in blue, that’s Atlantis
Chaos, it’s located in the Atlantis basin, a crater about 4 billion years old,
so old that its edges have eroded, the Chaos region measures just 105 by 90
miles, but long ago, the entire basin is thought to have been connected to
other basins, forming the hypothetical Eridania lake, if it existed, the lake
would have been huge, covering about 385,000 square miles,
if you
have time, just a few minutes, here's the full fly by, all of these were taken by
ESA’s Mars Express orbiter in December 2008, February 2009, and January 2014, absolutely stunning.
