The movie is based on the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.esa.int\/Our_Activities\/Space_Science\/Mars_Express\/The_floodwaters_of_Mars\">67-image mosaic<\/a>\u00a0released as part of the ten-years-since-launch celebrations in June 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The scene spans 987 km in the north\u2013south direction, 19\u201336\u00b0N, and 1550 km in the east\u2013west direction (280\u2013310\u00b0E). It covers 1.55 million square kilometres, an area equivalent to the size of Mongolia.<\/p>\n<p>Kasei Valles is one of the largest outflow channel systems on Mars, created during dramatic flood events. From source to sink, it extends some 3000 km and descends 3 km.<\/p>\n<p>Kasei Valles splits into two main branches that hug a broad island of fractured terrain \u2013 Sacra Mensa \u2013 rising 2 km above the channels that swerve around it. While weaker materials succumbed to the erosive power of the fast-flowing water, this hardier outcrop has stood the test of time.<\/p>\n<p>Slightly further downstream, the flood waters did their best to erase the 100 km-wide Sharonov crater, crumpling its walls to the south. Around Sharonov many small streamlined islands form teardrop shapes rising from the riverbed as water swept around these natural obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>The Planetary Science and Remote Sensing Group at Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin produced the movie. The processing of the High Resolution Stereo Camera image data was carried out at the DLR German Aerospace Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ESA released this video created from images\u00a0taken by the\u00a0Mars Express\u00a0spacecraft, which went into orbit around the Red Planet in 2004: The Floodwaters of Mars Ten years ago, on 14 January 2004, Mars Express took its very first images of Mars in colour and in 3D.
