Kasei Valles (THEMIS_IOTD_20200429a)
Today's VIS image shows a section of Kasei Valles. This complex channel arose in the Tharsis voclanic region and flowed eastward into Chryse Planitia. Chryse Planitia is a large circular basin, probably formed by a meteor impact.
This martian scene spans 19 x 68 kilometers (11 x 42 miles). To see where on Mars this area lies, and to download high-resolution versions of the image go to themis.asu.edu/zoom-20200429a
