Gusev crater and river, Mars
Gusev crater, Mars. Artwork of the Gusev crater (mid-centre), the Apollinaris Patera volcano (upper left) and river Ma adim Vallis (lower centre). Gusev has a diameter of 90 kilometres and is thought to have been formed three to four billion years ago by an asteroid impact. Scientists believe that water formed a river that drained into the crater. On January 3 2004, NASAs Mars rover Spirit landed in the crater. The rover has been able to grind away the surface cover on rocks found in the crater and analyse the minerals inside. In March 2004, Spirit found evidence of minerals crystallised out of water within a rock found in Gusev

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the stunning Gusev crater on Mars, along with the Apollinaris Patera volcano and the meandering river Ma'adim Vallis. With a diameter of 90 kilometers, Gusev crater is believed to have been created billions of years ago by a powerful asteroid impact. Scientists hypothesize that water once flowed through this region, forming a river that eventually drained into the crater. In January 2004, NASA's Mars rover Spirit touched down in Gusev crater, embarking on an extraordinary mission. Over time, Spirit diligently ground away at the surface cover of rocks found within the crater and conducted detailed mineral analyses. This groundbreaking research led to a remarkable discovery in March 2004 when evidence of minerals crystallized out of water was found within one particular rock. The intricate illustration not only highlights these significant scientific findings but also captures the awe-inspiring beauty of Mars' landscape. It serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our neighboring planet and our relentless pursuit to unravel its mysteries. This mesmerizing artwork from Science Photo Library invites us to contemplate the wonders of space exploration while showcasing both artistry and scientific knowledge. It offers us a glimpse into another world—a world where ancient craters bear witness to cataclysmic events and rivers once flowed across alien terrain.
