Verona Rupes: Tallest Known Cliff within the Photo voltaic Blueprint

Might perhaps well you reside on a jump off the tallest cliff within the Photo voltaic Blueprint? Fairly presumably. Verona Rupes on Uranus’ moon Miranda is estimated to be 20 kilometers deep — ten times the depth of the Earth’s Broad Canyon. Given Miranda’s low gravity, it would take hang of about 12 minutes for a thrill-searching out for adventurer to tumble from the top, reaching the bottom on the payment of a racecar — about 200 kilometers per hour. Even so, the autumn will be survivable given real airbag protection. The featured record of Verona Rupes was once captured by the passing Voyager 2 robotic spacecraft in 1986. How the true cliff was once created remains unknown, however is presumably linked to a dapper impression or tectonic surface motion.
