EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing surface of the red planet, Mars. Taken by the Soviet Phobos 2 spacecraft during its mission in July 1988, this image provides a glimpse into the mysterious world beyond our own. The Phobos spacecraft project was an ambitious endeavor to explore and study Mars, with two separate missions launched. Unfortunately, contact with Phobos 1 was lost due to a controller error while en route to Mars in October 1988. However, Phobos 2 successfully orbited Mars for an impressive span of 57 days before succumbing to computer failure in March 1989. In this photograph, we witness the barren landscape of Mars unfold before our eyes. The rugged terrain and dusty plains create a stark contrast against the deep orange hues that dominate its atmosphere. Every detail captured by the camera lens tells a story of millions of years' worth of geological processes shaping this alien world. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about what lies beyond our home planet. It serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding as we continue exploring distant celestial bodies like never before.
