Humans know a lot about space from years of research and scientific discovery, but there is still a lot that is unknown. Our human curiosity and ambition has combined over the years to advance our pursuit the discovery of new astronomical findings. One such ongoing effort is the Voyager Program. Two space probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, were launched in the late 1970s to collect data about our solar system. Voyager 2 was launched from the Kennedy Space Center on August 20, 1977. Voyager 1 was…

canyons, plateaus and abyssal plains. Mars has a mean radius of 3,396 with is roughly half of Earth mean radius of 6371. Earth and Mars orbits are different. For example, Earth orbits the Sun at an average distance of 149,598,261 km or one Astronomical Unit. Mars orbits at a distance of approximately 249,200,000 million km or 1.666 AU. At perihelion, when it is closest to the Sun, it orbits at a distance of approximately 206,700,000 million km or 1.3814 AU. The distance…
