Mars interior, artwork
Mars interior. Computer artwork showing the interior structure of the planet Mars. Current studies say its core consists primarily of iron with about 14-17% sulphur, and is about 1480 km in radius. The core is surrounded by a silicate mantle that formed many of the tectonic and volcanic features on the planet, but now appears to be inactive. The average thickness of the planets crust is about 50 km, while the maximum thickness is about 125 km. In comparison, Earths crust, averages 40 km, and is only one third as thick as Mars crust

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases a captivating computer artwork of the interior structure of the enigmatic planet Mars. The current scientific studies reveal fascinating details about its core, which is primarily composed of iron with approximately 14-17% sulphur and spans an impressive radius of 1480 km. Encircling the core is a silicate mantle that played a significant role in shaping Mars' tectonic and volcanic features, although it now appears to be dormant. The image highlights the stark contrast between Mars' exterior and its mysterious inner layers against a striking black background. With intricate detailing, this artwork provides valuable insights into Martian geology and astronomy. It emphasizes how the average thickness of Mars' crust measures around 50 km, while reaching up to an astounding maximum thickness of 125 km. In comparison, Earth's crust averages only 40 km in thickness, making it significantly thinner than that of our neighboring planet. Through this visually captivating illustration, viewers are transported into the depths of Mars' layered composition – offering glimpses into its planetary science and astrogeological wonders. This extraordinary piece by Carlos Clarivan from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of humanity's ongoing quest to unravel the mysteries hidden within our solar system's celestial bodies like never before imagined.
