The tallest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons on Mars. It has a height of 25 km, Mount Everest is 'only' 8.8 km tall.

Olympus Mons is wild. It's gigantic, but it's so gentle a slope that you could drive up to the peak.

It's so big because it's a shield volcano: there's a hotspot under it where magma is pushing up.

But since Mars has no active tectonics, that hot spot has been under the same spot for hundreds of millions of years. On earth, the tectonic plates would have slowly shifted over that time, and it would have become a mountain range, not one big mountain. On a dead planet like Mars, it just slowly builds up every time it erupts, so it's the biggest mountain in the solar system.

And it probably hasn't stopped growing! The most recent eruption is estimated at 2 million years ago, but geologically that's recent enough that it might still be active, and may erupt again someday.

Okay fuck so for like the entire first part I thought this person was like... Using one of those 3d pens to replace lace in this curtain somehow

Then the next couple I was like "wait are they just like painting the curtains a different color? Were the lace threads just black or something on that other one?"

Then finally it clicked and I freaked the fuck out
