Artwork of Mars surface after terraforming
Terraforming on Mars. Illustration of Mars after it has been made habitable. Dwellings have been built (at centre and at right) on the fertile landscape. Lightning (at left) arches down from clouds which add to a newly-formed sea (lower frame). The process of making barren planets habitable is known as terraforming. Terraforming would involve changing Mars atmosphere to make it breathable, adding fertilising chemicals to the soil and releasing water ice from below the surface. Terraforming is technically feasible but would be enormously expensive and take many centuries

EDITORS COMMENTS
This panoramic artwork transports us to a future Mars, transformed into a habitable world through the process of terraforming. The once desolate and barren surface has been completely altered, giving way to a fertile landscape teeming with life. In the center and right of the image, we see dwellings that now dot this newfound paradise. These structures serve as evidence of human colonization on Mars, showcasing our ability to adapt and thrive in even the most inhospitable environments. To the left, lightning gracefully arcs down from clouds above, illuminating a newly-formed sea below. This breathtaking sight symbolizes not only the power of nature but also humanity's triumph over adversity in reshaping an entire planet. Terraforming is no easy feat; it requires altering Mars' atmosphere to make it breathable for humans, enriching its soil with fertilizing chemicals, and releasing water ice hidden beneath its surface. While technically feasible, this monumental undertaking would demand immense resources and time—spanning many centuries—to achieve. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing illustration created by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of both our boundless imagination and our responsibility as stewards of our own planet Earth. The possibilities presented here inspire us to dream big about what lies beyond our home planet while urging us to cherish and protect the fragile ecosystem we currently inhabit.
