Wikipedia
Green Valley is a common place name in English. It may refer to:
Green Valley is a region on Mars within Vastitas Borealis that was chosen as the landing site of NASA's Phoenix lander. It is located at 68.35 degrees north, 233 degrees east. The valley is about 50 kilometres wide but only about 250 metres deep; either it was filled in or was never any deeper than that. The edges are not visible from the middle of the valley.
The name "Green Valley" is not officially recognised by the International Astronomical Union. It came from the decision process by which it was selected as Phoenix's landing site: prospective landing areas were color-coded based on how hazardous they were, with red being most hazardous through yellow to green being the safest. Green Valley has relatively few of the large boulders that could potentially have tipped the lander if it had hit one during touchdown.
The ground within Green Valley is covered with polygonal features several metres across and roughly ten centimetres high, thought to be caused either by thermal contraction ( ice-wedge polygons) or by the effects of wind-blown dust ( sand-wedge polygons). Water ice is thought to be just below the surface. During the local winter as much as three feet of carbon dioxide ice is expected to appear on the surface.
Shortly before Phoenix's scheduled landing, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter photographed a pair of kilometer-tall dust devils in the Green Valley area.
Green Valley is a steep-sided, ice-filled valley that indents the east side of Ford Massif just north of Janulis Spur, in the Thiel Mountains of Antarctica. The name was proposed by Arthur B. Ford and Peter Bermel, co-leaders of the United States Geological Survey Thiel Mountains party that surveyed these mountains in 1960–61, for David H. Green, camp assistant with the party.
Green Valley is a Spanish reggae-dancehall group formed by five musicians, native to Alava and Catalonia. Their songs address social injustice.
