Mars landscape, artwork C016 / 6322
Mars landscape. Artwork of a rocky landscape in the Gale Crater on Mars. This crater was caused by an asteroid impact millions of years ago. It was the landing site on 6 August 2012 for NASAs Curiosity rover, which is on a mission investigate the Martian climate and geology. It will assess whether environmental conditions were favourable for microbial life, as well as providing data to aid future human exploration. Currently, Mars is a rocky desert world with no surface water. The atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide and Martian surface temperatures are well below freezing

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Mars landscape, specifically the Gale Crater. The artwork beautifully captures a rocky terrain that was formed millions of years ago due to an asteroid impact. It is fascinating to note that this very spot served as the landing site for NASA's Curiosity rover on 6 August 2012. The primary objective of this groundbreaking mission is to investigate both the climate and geology of Mars. Scientists hope to determine whether environmental conditions were ever favorable for microbial life, while also gathering crucial data to assist future human exploration endeavors. Mars, as depicted in this image, appears as a barren desert world devoid of surface water. Its atmosphere predominantly consists of carbon dioxide, and temperatures on its surface remain well below freezing point. The illustration highlights the arid nature of this red planet with vast stretches of sand and hills stretching out towards the horizon. As we marvel at this artistic representation, it serves as a reminder that planetary science has come a long way in our quest for knowledge about neighboring celestial bodies like Mars. With each new discovery made through missions such as these, humanity edges closer towards unraveling the mysteries hidden within our solar system's enigmatic worlds.
