Look: 5 images show the most awe-inspiring geology in the Solar System
Inverse
According to author David Rothery: When we talk about amazing geological features, we often limit ourselves to those on Earth. But as a geologist, I think that's crazy — there are so many structures on other worlds that can excite and inspire, and that can put processes on our own planet into perspective.
Here, in no particular order, are the five geological structures in the solar system (excluding Earth) that most impress me.

Scientists are close to solving one of the oldest geological mysteries in the Grand Canyon
The Swaddle
Each layer of rock at the Grand Canyon is believed to represent a distinctive period of the Earth's history. However, about a billion years’ worth of rocks are missing — 25% of the Earth's geological history.
This loss is attributed to the "Great Unconformity" — or gap in the geological records between 100 million and 1 billion years in different parts of the world, including the Grand Canyon — that is described as "one of geology’s deepest mysteries." It was first identified in 1869.

Mars' weird geology is making Perseverance's job more complicated
Salon
Earlier this month, the Perseverance rover set out to collect some rock samples on Mars. It was supposed to be a key moment in the rover's historic sample-return mission, one in which Perseverance was to collect, store and return Martian rock and soil samples to Earth. (The rocket that will pick up the samples hasn't launched yet, and may not for almost a decade; currently, Perseverance is doing the grunt work of collection.)
