Space enthusiasts are revisiting Olympus Mons, the giant shield volcano on Mars that rises roughly 22 kilometres high, making it the tallest known mountain in the solar system and so vast it would block its own base from view. Writers are posing a simple hypothetical to readers: if you could travel anywhere beyond Earth, would the Martian volcano be your first stop?
Why now: Astronomy communicators are engaging audiences with a popular hypothetical about visiting Mars's record-breaking volcano.
