Martian sunrise
Martian sunrise, artwork. Mars is a rocky desert world with no surface water. The orange 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 usually well below freezing, ranging from -20 degrees Celsius in the day to -80 degrees Celsius during the night. The Martian day is 37 minutes longer than an Earth day. The gravity is about one third of that on Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Martian Sunrise" showcases the breathtaking beauty of Mars, a barren and rocky desert world devoid of surface water. The vibrant orange hue of the rocks is a result of their high iron oxide content, creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of the Martian atmosphere. Unlike Earth's denser atmosphere, Mars predominantly consists of carbon dioxide. The extreme temperatures on Mars are unforgiving, with surface conditions plummeting well below freezing during both day and night. A Martian day lasts 37 minutes longer than an Earth day, adding to the uniqueness of this alien planet. Additionally, gravity on Mars is only about one third that found on our home planet. This mesmerizing artwork transports us to another realm within our solar system where rusty volcanic landscapes dominate the scenery. The illustration perfectly captures the arid and desolate nature of Mars' martian surface while highlighting its geological wonders. As we gaze upon this otherworldly scene at dawn, we can't help but marvel at the mysteries that lie beyond our own planetary boundaries. This image serves as a reminder that there is still so much to explore in our vast universe – from distant planets like Mars to cosmic phenomena yet to be discovered.
