Fine Art Print : Terraforming Mars
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Terraforming Mars
Terraforming Mars. Artwork 1 of 3. Todays Mars is a cold desert world with a thin atmosphere of carbon dioxide. The orange colour is due to oxides in the rocks that trap the planets oxygen, a form of rusting. Freezing surface temperatures average minus 62 degrees Celsius, with the carbon dioxide freezing out to form dry ice deposits. Craters on the surface show a history of meteorite impacts as well as volcanic activity. Evidence of erosion by liquid water suggests that there was once water on Mars that has now been lost to space. Underground deposits of water ice could be used to terraform Mars. This is shown in images R350/209-211

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Terraforming Mars" showcases the current state of the red planet, offering a glimpse into its harsh and inhospitable environment. Today, Mars stands as a cold desert world with an atmosphere consisting mainly of carbon dioxide. The striking orange hue is attributed to oxides in the rocks that have trapped the planet's oxygen, resulting in a form of rusting. With freezing surface temperatures averaging at a bone-chilling minus 62 degrees Celsius, carbon dioxide freezes out to form dry ice deposits. The craters scattered across Mars' surface serve as reminders of both meteorite impacts and past volcanic activity. Although evidence suggests that liquid water once flowed on this barren land, it has since been lost to space. However, there may be hope for transforming this uninhabitable wasteland into a thriving ecosystem fit for colonization. Underground deposits of water ice hold promise for terraforming efforts on Mars. This awe-inspiring artwork from Science Photo Library beautifully illustrates this vision for engineering our neighboring planet's environment. As we explore the mysteries beyond Earth's boundaries, understanding and potentially altering celestial bodies like Mars could pave the way for future human exploration and habitation in our vast universe. Let this image inspire us to dream big and push the limits of what is possible in our quest to expand our presence among the stars.
