Mars. Artwork of the planet Mars seen from space
Mars. Artwork of the planet Mars seen from space. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, and it is a rocky desert world. Its diameter is around half Earth s, and the surface area is about the same as Earths land surface area. It has a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere, which forms ice (white) at the poles (South Pole at upper left). There are large canyons, volcanoes and craters on Mars. The orange colour is due to the iron oxides in the rocks. The dark area is the Syrtis Major highland. This view shows the eastern hemisphere of Mars

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic beauty of Mars, our neighboring planet in the vast expanse of space. From a distance, we witness an artistic portrayal of Mars as a rocky desert world, with its distinct orange hue resulting from iron oxides present in its rocks. The fourth planet from the Sun, Mars boasts a diameter approximately half that of Earth and possesses a surface area equivalent to our own land surface. As we explore this stunning image further, we observe intriguing features such as large canyons, volcanoes, and craters scattered across the Martian landscape. Notably visible is the Syrtis Major highland - a dark region amidst the vibrant colors surrounding it. Atop lies the South Pole where carbon dioxide forms ice during certain seasons. The artwork also highlights Mars' eastern hemisphere while offering us glimpses into its mysterious terrain. This visual representation allows us to appreciate both its cosmic grandeur and scientific significance within our solar system. Through this remarkable illustration captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of humanity's continuous fascination with celestial bodies like Mars - igniting curiosity about what lies beyond our own planet's boundaries and inspiring exploration into uncharted territories of space.
