Illustration of a martian sunrise from within a deep canyon
Artists concept of how a martian sunrise might look from the bottom of a deep canyon. The Sun is surrounded by a bluish halo due to dust in the martian atmosphere.
During the martian day, this dust absorbs the blue light from the Sun, resulting in an overall salmon colored sky, but it also scatters some of the blue light into the area immediately around the Sun. The blue color only becomes apparent near sunrise and sunset, when the light has to pass through the most amount of dust. The canyon is representative of the land forms found in the Olympica Fossae region, located in northern Tharsis, south of the Alba Patera volcano

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's imaginative concept of a martian sunrise as seen from the depths of a deep canyon. The image transports us to the Olympica Fossae region in northern Tharsis, where the rugged landscape is dominated by steep cliffs and rocky formations. As dawn breaks on the red planet, a mesmerizing sight unfolds before our eyes. The Sun, surrounded by a bluish halo caused by dust particles in Mars' atmosphere, begins to rise above the horizon. The dusty air absorbs most of the blue light emitted by the Sun during daylight hours, resulting in a salmon-colored sky that blankets this alien world. However, at sunrise and sunset when sunlight must pass through more dust, hints of blue become visible around our star. The canyon walls tower above us, their jagged edges creating an otherworldly vista. Mist and haze cling to the lower regions of this Martian chasm, adding an ethereal touch to the scene. The highlands beyond are bumpy and mountainous - remnants of ancient geological processes that have shaped this extraterrestrial terrain over eons. As we gaze upon this artwork inspired by scientific knowledge and creative imagination, we can't help but marvel at both the beauty and mystery that lie within our neighboring planet's landscapes. This stunning rendition invites us to ponder what secrets might be hidden amidst these valleys and hills on Mars – beckoning humanity towards further exploration into its enigmatic realms.
