Who doesn't love Mars?
Obviously, the site owner at Universe Today does not spend any time at Free Republic. Otherwise, he'd know there's at least one guy who doesn't like Mars. (For white people that is.) Hint:He's the same guy who doesn't like the Moon.(For white people that is.)

Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids, in fact, it’s cold as Hell.

Wow, five miles deep!
How did it form?
Awesome.

"Hebes Chasma....The trench is about five miles deep at its utmost, and hundreds of miles long."
The origin of this feature defies explanation. On Earth, such features have been gouged out by running water, but I see no evidence of where water would have come from, or gone to, in this photo.
Where are the river channels leading to, and away from this structure? Perhaps it was once a lake?

Wow, five miles deep! How did it form? That's what I'm asking.
The only thing that makes sense to me, is that the planet ripped open at that location. I can't see any other way for that feature to form.
Something along the lines of a rift valley. It would be evidence of ancient tectonic activity on Mars if that's correct.

There doesn’t appear to be any outlet, so erosion
would seem to be out. Would love to see some oblique
close ups. Mars, temporarily shut down due to close
of government offices...

Mining operation !? Naw.....no tire tracks. There'd definitely be tire tracks.

There doesnt appear to be any outlet, so erosion would seem to be out. That's why I'm thinking tectonic rift. It's the correct shape for that, too.

Sink hole. That would have been one humongous cave.

Maybe Mars used to have 3 little moons and one of them crashed there??

Thanks Squawk 8888, looks like a great APoD extra, but I'm doubling up on the ping and doing the Catastrophism list.
