Explanation:

An icy mist and late afternoon clouds cover [ http://antwrp.gsfc.… ] much of this section of Valles Marineris [ http://antwrp.gsfc.… ] on Mars [ http://www.seds.org… ]. The Valles Marineris or Mariner [ http://bang.lanl.go… ] Valley is a huge canyon system about 2,000 miles long [ http://www.hawastso… ] and up to 5 miles deep. This test image [ http://www.msss.com… camera/images/p13_color_release/index.html ] was produced using data from Mars Global Surveyor [ http://mpfwww.jpl.n… ]'s wide angle cameras viewing the canyon from a distance of 360-600 miles. Color was synthesized using images recorded through blue and red filters. Mission controllers [ http://mpfwww.jpl.n… ] have recently raised the spacecraft's aerobraking [ http://antwrp.gsfc.… ] orbit to study the unexpected motion of one of the Surveyor's solar panels [ ftp://ftp.hq.nasa.g… ].
