Rocknest site, Mars, Curiosity images C015 / 6512
Rocknest site, Mars. Pair of images from the Mast Camera on NASAs Curiosity rover showing the Rocknest site on the Martian surface. This was the site from where a scoop of soil was taken for analysis with Curiositys Chemistry and Mineralogy instrument (CheMin). The colours in the image at left are unmodified, showing the scene as it would appear on Mars, which has a dusty red-coloured atmosphere. The image at right has been white-balanced to show what the same area would look like under the lighting conditions on Earth

Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Rocknest site on Mars, as captured by NASA's Curiosity rover. The pair of images taken by the Mast Camera provide a fascinating glimpse into the Martian landscape. In the unmodified image on the left, we witness the scene in its natural state, reflecting Mars' characteristic dusty red-colored atmosphere. However, it is in the white-balanced image on the right that we are transported to Earth-like lighting conditions, allowing us to envision what this area might look like under familiar circumstances. This adjustment offers a unique perspective and helps us better understand and relate to this distant world. The Rocknest site holds great significance as it served as a sampling location for Curiosity's Chemistry and Mineralogy instrument (CheMin). A scoop of soil was collected from here for detailed analysis, providing valuable insights into Mars' geology and mineralogy. This photograph not only highlights technological advancements but also represents humanity's relentless curiosity and determination to explore beyond our own planet. It reminds us of NASA's ongoing mission to unravel mysteries about our solar system through meticulous research conducted by cutting-edge probes like Curiosity. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of how far scientific exploration has come in understanding other worlds within our vast universe.
