Artwork of ancient Mars with water on its surface
Ancient Mars. Computer artwork of Mars at least 3 billion years ago. The surface environment of ancient Mars was different to that of today, and may have allowed life forms to develop. Ancient Mars was warm, with seas and lakes covering much of its surface; it also had a thick atmosphere (blue). Today, water is present on Mars only as ice on the surface in the polar regions, underground or as trace amounts of vapour or ice crystals in the atmosphere. The atmospheric pressure of modern Mars is only 0.6% that of Earth s, and the average surface temperature is - 33 degrees Celsius. This means that it is extremely unlikely that life still exists on Mars.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork takes us back in time, offering a glimpse into the ancient Mars that existed at least 3 billion years ago. The image portrays a vastly different planet from what we know today. A warm and inviting world, Mars was adorned with seas and lakes that covered much of its surface. Its atmosphere, depicted here in a mesmerizing shade of blue, was thick and supportive of life. In stark contrast to the present-day reality on Mars, where water exists only as ice in polar regions or underground, this artwork reminds us of the once abundant presence of liquid water on the Martian landscape. It sparks our imagination about the possibility that life forms may have thrived under these favorable conditions. However, modern Mars paints a desolate picture with an atmospheric pressure merely 0.6% that of Earth's and an average surface temperature plunging to -33 degrees Celsius. These extreme environmental factors make it highly unlikely for any form of life to persist on this barren planet. As we ponder upon this stunning piece of artistry by Science Photo Library, it serves as a reminder not only of our fascination with alien worlds but also highlights how unique and precious our own planet is—a haven teeming with diverse ecosystems supporting countless life forms against all odds.
