Water on Mars
Water on Mars. Cutaway artwork of a section of the Martian crust showing water ice (blue) trapped in cracks below the surface. Mars is a barren planet of rock and has no liquid water. Water does exist there, but in the form of ice below ground and in the polar regions. It is thought that water once flowed on the surface of Mars, accounting for the erosion features seen. The water was lost to space because of the combined effect of the thin Martian atmosphere and weak Martian gravity. The remnants could be an important source of water for missions to Mars and for efforts to terraform Mars (make it more like Earth)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cutaway artwork of the Martian crust, revealing an extraordinary sight - water ice trapped in cracks beneath the barren surface of Mars. Contrary to popular belief, Mars is not entirely devoid of water; it exists in frozen form underground and concentrated at the polar regions. The erosion features observed on this desolate planet suggest that water once flowed freely across its surface. However, due to the combined effects of a thin atmosphere and weak gravity, this precious resource was gradually lost to space. The remnants of water hidden below Mars' rugged terrain hold immense significance for future missions and efforts to transform the Red Planet into a more habitable environment resembling Earth. This remarkable illustration offers us a glimpse into what lies beneath our neighboring planet's rocky exterior – subterranean caves filled with icy blue hues. As we explore further into our solar system, understanding these subterranean reservoirs becomes crucial for potential colonization or sustained exploration on Mars. Scientists believe that tapping into these hidden sources could provide astronauts with vital supplies during their journeys and potentially aid in terraforming endeavors. This thought-provoking print by Science Photo Library serves as a reminder that even within seemingly inhospitable worlds like Mars, there are untold wonders waiting to be discovered and harnessed for humanity's advancement beyond our home planet.
