The discovery of this canyon was seen by a satellite of the planet Pluto, thanks to the capture of some images by means of a New Horizons probe, in which it was discovered that enormous geographical feature. The day 14 of the month of July that happened, the probe called New Horizons reached the point closest to the planet Pluto and achieved some very precise and quite surprising images of this great planet and its satellites. Among them, Charon, of a measure of 1,208 kilometers in diameter.
There in part, in that part of the Plutonian moon that is -extraordinarily- manages to have more than half the size of the planet that is around which can rotate, this cannon was found and was the largest found in the Solar System, with a measure of 1,600 kilometers long; hence this is, four times the length of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado that is on the planet Mars.
This huge fracture found surprising to NASA researchers, who were expecting to find large craters but not with a cannon of this magnitude and that is quite extensive, whose origin is not yet known but is linked to the violent origin of Charon. Since this moon has a fracture of measures of more than 1.6000 kilometers, four times much bigger than the Grand Canyon of Colorado of Mars. Some of the researchers have discovered this great discovery thanks to the images shown by the satellite called New Horizon. NASA researchers believe that this fissure formed is due to a complex and violent history because of many earthquakes and thousands of meteorites.

This huge and great asana already calls as the Grand Canyon of the Colorado surprises everyone who visits its information, but this fraction is simply a scratch on the surface of our planet Mars, if we compare Valles Marineris, the deep scar of the Planet Red called Mars. This great canyon called Valles Marineris is a huge monument of the canyon system that runs along the equator of Mars. It measures 4,500 km long, 200 km wide and 11 km deep. And besides that, it is connected (to the west) with the volcanic region of Tharsis, which is home to the largest volcano in our Solar System, on Mount Olympus. This quite unprecedented bird's eye view of the Valles Marineris canyon was made by data that were collected by the ESA Mars Express probe along about 20 orbits. In the images you can show the false color and with a vertical scale that was made four times.
The origin of this canyon as and said that it is called Valles Marineris is very unknown, but several experts claim that the formation of Valles Marineris may be related to the bulge of the neighboring region of Tharsis. As this region was swollen by the large accumulation of lava during the first billions of years of the planet, while the surrounding bark was stretching, cracking and collapsing, giving way to the imposing cannon system of Valles Marineris .
In some of many images that were published by the ESA to revealed details of the largest canyon in the entire solar system. For its long and enormous length and the great depth that is affirmed by greatness. One of the most particular characteristics of this area is the product of a complicated physical history of this region, these data were obtained thanks to ESA's graduated Mars Express probe. It is very probable that the origin of this great canyon is linked to the protuberance of the nearby region that is Tharsis, where it is located in a large part of the Olympus Mons. These walls, rocks and plains may be the product of the storage of lava over the course of billions of years of the planet Mars, according to the European agency through a statement given at a time that. Water currents and currents of land molded the region, increasing the depth of the Valles Marineris canyon. This bark was cracking and stretching, giving rise to the magnificent system of pits of the canyon.
It is located on the western edge of the fault system of the Valles Marineris canyon, east of Pavonis Mons and north of Syria Planum; the terrain is messy and chaotic. It is located between Valles Marineris, gently displaced to the south, probably was the trigger of some characteristics of Valles Marineris. On the east side from Oudemans in parallel, Lus Chasma to the south and Tithonium Chasma to the north. The less broad of the two is Tithonium.
These are the biggest and most magnificent canyons in our solar system. I hope you like this information about these wonders that our great universe offers us.
