EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases a three-dimensional composite satellite image of the Martian surface, revealing intricate topographical features labeled in black. With its north positioned at the top, this map provides an awe-inspiring view of Mars' landscape. Prominent features visible include Chryse Planitia, a vast plain spanning approximately 840 kilometers in diameter, situated slightly left of center. Captivatingly dominating the far center-left is Olympus Mons, an extraordinary volcano and mountain that stands as the tallest known within our entire solar system. Crafted using data collected by the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft's Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA), this remarkable map offers invaluable insights into the planet's geography. From space, it becomes evident how diverse and captivating Mars truly is. The composite image combines various shades of brown to depict different elevations and terrains across the Martian surface. Astrophysicists and planetary scientists alike find immense value in such detailed maps as they aid in understanding not only Mars but also other celestial bodies within our solar system. By studying volcanoes, craters, plains, and regions on Mars through these images, researchers can unravel mysteries about its geological history and potential for sustaining life. This print from Science Photo Library serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about distant worlds beyond our own blue planet.
