  • It was captured by European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express mission.
  • The crater floor can reach depths of two kilometres (1.2 miles) below its rim, deeper than Earth’s Grand Canyon.
  • The Mars Express Mission was launched back in June 2003 and entered orbit around the red planet in December of the same year.
  • Since then, the probe has been surveying the surface of Mars using a high-resolution camera as well as other tools like radars and spectrometers.
