Do you want to go to a place with a surprising natural beauty that is not overrun with tourists ? Do you want to go somewhere where you do not need to carry a passport or get vaccinated ?
If you look at the night sky , you will see some of these places . All you need is a fast rocket and food , water , and air that is enough for the trip , which could take months or even years . Here are 10 interesting sights in the solar system .
1. The Caloris Basin , Mercury
About 4 billion years ago , the inner solar system is doing pembersian of debris left over from the formation. During this period , called the Late Heavy Bombardment that , a large asteroid that created the u201clautanu201d in the Moon crashed into Mercury's Caloris Basin and formed , This is one of the largest asteroids in the solar system with a diameter of 1,550 km ( 960 miles) . Interior basin consists of high mountains and hills fault . This basin is surrounded by the highest mountains towering Mercury 3 km above the plains and many lava pit is an active volcano . There you will catch the rays about 7 times more than you get on Earth because you are so much closer to the Sun .
2. Apollo 11 landing site , Sea of Tranquility , the Moon
If you must choose one of the historic sites to visit , the Apollo 11 landing site at the Sea of Tranquility is the right destination . Where on the date of July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on another world . There you will see the bottom of the lunar module Eagle . But be careful where you step , you and the footprints left by Armstrong and Aldrin will remain there for millions of years .
3. Valles Marineris , Mars
Grand Canyon is located in Arizona is an impressive place . With a length of 450 km and a depth of about 2 km . However , when compared to the Valles Marineris Canyon on Mars , it just seemed like a mere ditch . Discovered in 1971 by the Mariner 9 , Valles Marineris stretches 4,000 miles across the planet to a depth of up to 9 km and . Many have speculated that the Valles Marineris system may mistake separating two continental plates . If so , Mars and Earth will be the only planet whose surface is formed by plate tectonics .
4. Olympus Mons , Mars
Mount Olympus ( Olympus Mons ) is the largest volcano in the solar system . About 700 miles across and is located in 22 km above the Tharsis plateau . Olympus Mons is the edge of a cliff with a height of 10 km and there is a shallow slope from the top of the cliff toward the center of the crater as deep as 85 km . Keep in mind , the largest volcano on Earth is Mauna Loa in Hawaii , which stretches about 120 km with an altitude of 9 km .
5. Great Red Spot
The Great Red Spot is the largest surface features of Jupiter , oval shaped and sized red twice the size of Earth . It has been observed continuously since 1878 and shows no signs of fading or disappearing . The whole system rotates every seven days , with winds at 400 miles per hour edge . Floats above the main cloud layer of Jupiter , and it is unknown how far it extends into the interior of Jupiter . The place itself is sometimes changed color from red to orange u2013 gray , when it is covered by white clouds at higher altitudes . What makes the red spot was so far unknown . Speculation is that there is a rash consisting of sulfur and phosphorus compounds to organic materials such as carbon compounds produced by lightning or chemical reactions with sunlight .
6. Io
Jupiter has four big moons , called the Galilean satellites because they were discovered by the Italian astronomer Galileo in 1610 . Because Io is closest to Jupiter , the tidal effects of the moon wrinkled like a ball curry . This energy is released in a spectacular volcanic eruption of silicate lava . Io volcanoes discovered by investigators America Voyager 1 in 1979 . Its surface is speckled with orange , white , and yellow are composed of sulfur and sulfur compounds .
7. Europa
Europa is one of the Galilean satellites whose surface is covered by ice . Smooth surface with few craters , indicating that the satellite is a very young age . What lies beneath the surface of the ice is an interesting question . Ice with a thickness of about 150 km , but underneath there is a sea . Scientists have speculated that if the ocean is there , it may sustain the life of the heat energy from tidal flexure Europa ( which will be more extreme than that suffered by Io , but still visible ) .
8. The rings of Saturn
The rings of Saturn is one of the most distinct features of the other planets in the solar system . Saturn rings have a diameter of 270,000 miles , but it is so thin , with a thickness of only 100 meters . The rings are composed of many particles of dust and stone and situated in what is called the Roche limit , the radius at which the large moon would be torn apart by tidal . The tidal forces also prevent agglomeration of particles in the ring from becoming larger body .
9. South Polar Geysers, Enceladus
The brightest moon of Saturn , Enceladus , has a smooth surface that is almost covered with ice . At the south pole there are several mountain where the giant geysers of water spewing out thousands of kilometers into space and form a ring of Saturn . Geyser is likely to come from the oceans of liquid water under the ice . If there is water and energy , there may be life in that place .
10. Hawaii
After touring the solar system of Valles Marineris big gap to cool geysers of Enceladus , you might want to end your vacation in a place with plenty of water and a breathable atmosphere . Fortunately the Earth is full of beautiful places like , a chain of volcanic islands of Hawaii which was in the middle of the largest ocean on the planet , the Pacific . No volcano Olympus Mons and is not as big as many as in Io , but the mountain is located near paved roads , good hotels , restaurants and superb beaches .
Well , that's 10 tourist spots may be one of them or you can even visit a few . However, Hawaii is the most realistic option for now for you
