Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Valles Marineris, Mars, artwork
Valles Marineris. Artwork of an aerial view of Valles Marineris (Mariner Valleys), a massive system of canyons near the equator on Mars. The Sun is at upper left, and North is towards upper right. Mars is a dry and arid desert world. The entire canyon system is some 4000 kilometres long, 200 kilometres wide and up to 7 kilometres deep, dwarfing similar canyons on Earth. The surface of Mars has been extensively mapped by orbiting unmanned spacecraft. Erosion features in the landscape, and data from rovers exploring the surface, suggest that water once flowed here, shaping these canyons after their formation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases an aerial view of Valles Marineris, a breathtaking system of canyons on the red planet, Mars. The artist, Detlev van Ravenswaay, skillfully captures the essence of this Martian landscape with intricate detail and vibrant colors. Stretching over 4000 kilometers in length and up to 7 kilometers deep, Valles Marineris is a colossal geological formation that dwarfs any similar canyon found on Earth. Its sheer size and magnitude are awe-inspiring, as it carves its way through the arid desert world of Mars. In this artwork, we see the Sun casting its golden rays from the upper left corner while North points towards the upper right. Shadows dance along the rocky cliffs and valleys, adding depth to this otherworldly scene. The absence of water today is evident; however, erosion features suggest that these canyons were once shaped by flowing water long ago. Mars has been extensively studied by orbiting spacecraft and rovers exploring its surface. Through their discoveries, scientists have gained valuable insights into our neighboring planet's geology and history. This stunning print serves as a reminder of our ongoing exploration into the mysteries of space and our continuous quest for knowledge about distant worlds like Mars. Detlev van Ravenswaay's artwork beautifully combines scientific accuracy with artistic interpretation to transport us to another world – one where desolate beauty meets untold secrets waiting to be unraveled in Valles Marineris.
