🌊 Watch live dive now @oceannetworks.ca We are testing equipment at a deep sea (~2700 m) bore hole in the ocean crust. The equipment will sample fluids from the borehole. The ingenious "ferris wheel" shows us fluid is moving through & out of the system #ONCabyss www.oceannetworks.ca/expeditions/...

This month, Mars Express takes us to Shalbatana Vallis – a 10-kilometre-wide, 500-metre-deep valley that weaves its way across the Red Planet for around 1300 km. Explore the image and discover its secrets 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🔭 🧪 #planetsci

A dark orange patch of Mars, with a large, winding channel running from the bottom left to the right of the frame. The rest of the landscape is scattered with circular craters and uneven bumps, but is mostly smooth. A small scale bar at the bottom right indicates that north is to the left, and that a line approximately one tenth of the image width is 20 km long.
