Astronauts on Mars, computer artwork
Astronauts on Mars. Computer artwork of astronauts exploring the surface of Mars. The Martian atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide and surface temperatures are well below freezing as Mars is much further from the Sun than the Earth. Martian astronauts will have to breathe their own air supply and wear heated spacesuits on the surface of Mars. Mars is a rocky desert world and has no surface water. The red-orange colour of the Martian rocks is due to a high iron oxide content. In 2004, NASA announced the Constellation Program, a US space program intended to put astronauts back on the Moon by 2020, followed by missions to Mars

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Astronauts on Mars, computer artwork" takes us on a mesmerizing journey to the red planet. The illustration showcases brave astronauts fearlessly exploring the barren and rocky surface of Mars, equipped with advanced technology and futuristic spacesuits. As we delve into this imagined future, it becomes evident that survival on Mars is no easy feat. With a thin atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide and bone-chilling temperatures well below freezing, these intrepid explorers must rely on their own air supply and wear heated protective suits to endure the harsh conditions. The Martian landscape depicted in this artwork reveals a desolate desert world devoid of surface water. The striking red-orange hue of the rocks hints at their high iron oxide content, adding an otherworldly beauty to this alien terrain. While gazing at this image, one cannot help but ponder humanity's relentless pursuit of space exploration. It serves as a reminder that our technological advancements have brought us closer than ever to venturing beyond Earth's boundaries. With initiatives like NASA's Constellation Program aiming for manned missions back to the Moon by 2020 and eventually setting foot on Mars, we are witnessing an exciting chapter in human history unfold before our eyes. Science Photo Library has once again captured our imagination with this thought-provoking piece that encapsulates both the challenges and wonders awaiting us in the vast expanse of space.
