File:Mars caves from NASA orbiters.jpg

{{As of|2007}} seven putative cave entrances have been identified in satellite imagery of the planet Mars, all so far located on the flanks of Arsia Mons.[http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2007/pdf/1371.pdf Themis Observes Possible Cave Skylights on Mars]. G. E. Cushing, T. N. Titus, J. J. Wynne, P. R. Christensen. Lunar and Planetary Science XXXVIII (2007) A more recent photograph of one of the features shows sunlight illuminating a side wall, suggesting that it may simply be a vertical pit rather than an entrance to a larger underground space.{{cite news|url=https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn12566-strange-martian-feature-not-a-bottomless-cave-after-all.html| title=Strange Martian feature not a 'bottomless' cave after all|date= 30 August 2007|website=NewScientist.com|first=David|last=Shiga}}
