Internal structure of Mars, artwork C018 / 0288
Internal structure of Mars, cutaway artwork. Mars is a rocky planet. It has a partially molten core of iron and iron sulphides (central sphere). Overlying the core is a thick mantle (orange), which underlies the crust (this upper layer). The crust of Mars is around 100 kilometres thick, compared to the 10 to 70 kilometre-thick crust of Earth. The lack of a completely molten region around the core means that Mars does not generate a uniform strong magnetic field, which would have protected the planets atmosphere from the solar wind. It is thought the atmosphere on Mars was stripped away after the core cooled

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate internal structure of Mars, providing a glimpse into the geological wonders of this rocky planet. The artwork, titled "Internal Structure of Mars" reveals a cutaway view that exposes the various layers within its core. At the heart of Mars lies a partially molten core composed of iron and iron sulphides, depicted as a central sphere in striking detail. Surrounding this core is a thick mantle layer colored in vibrant orange, which serves as the foundation for the planet's crust – represented by the uppermost layer in this image. Interestingly, unlike Earth with its 10 to 70 kilometer-thick crust, Mars boasts an impressive crust thickness measuring around 100 kilometers. This disparity plays a crucial role in explaining one of Mars' distinctive characteristics: its lack of a uniform strong magnetic field. Without such protection from solar wind, it is believed that Mars gradually lost its atmosphere after its core cooled down. The artwork beautifully illustrates these complex concepts through carefully crafted imagery and precise scientific representation. With elements like circular shapes symbolizing different regions and detailed illustrations depicting various geological phenomena such as molten rock and magma layers, this print offers both aesthetic appeal and educational value. In summary, this mesmerizing print provides us with an intriguing visual exploration into the internal workings of our neighboring desert world - revealing why it differs from Earth while showcasing its unique geology and non-magnetic nature.
