Martian landscape, artwork. Mars is a rocky desert world with no surface water

Martian landscape, artwork. Mars is a rocky desert world with no surface water. The red colour of the rocks is due to a high content of iron oxides. The Martian atmosphere, less dense than Earth s, is mostly carbon dioxide. Surface temperatures are well below freezing. Mars has two moons, and the larger and closer moon, Phobos, is seen in the sky at upper left. Phobos is less than 30 kilometres long, and is an irregularly shaped chunk of rock. It only takes 8 hours to orbit Mars, at a distance of less than 10, 000 kilometres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Martian landscape, a barren and rocky desert world devoid of any surface water. The striking red hue of the rocks is a result of their high iron oxide content, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. Unlike Earth, Mars has a less dense atmosphere predominantly composed of carbon dioxide. Surface temperatures on this desolate planet plummet well below freezing, adding to its inhospitable nature. In this artwork, we are treated to the sight of Phobos, one of Mars' two moons, gracing the upper left corner of the sky. With a length under 30 kilometers and an irregular shape resembling a chunky rock formation, Phobos completes its orbit around Mars in just eight hours at a distance less than 10, 000 kilometers. The image beautifully captures the essence of Mars' geological wonders with its rusty and volcanic appearance. It serves as a reminder that our neighboring planet holds untold secrets waiting to be unraveled by scientific exploration. As we gaze upon this illustration created by Science Photo Library's talented artists, we are transported into the vastness of space and reminded once again how unique each celestial body within our solar system truly is - each holding its own mysteries waiting for us to uncover them.
