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

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
