Mars topography, artwork C017 / 7332
Mars topography. Computer artwork based on satellite data, showing the topography of the planet Mars. The topography of Mars is clearly divided in two regions: the northern plains - virtually without impact craters and covered by huge lava flows, and the southern mountainous terrain - characterised by a large number of impact craters, most of them very old. The average height difference between the two regions is about 4 km, which suggests that the northern planes once housed a giant ocean

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mars Topography, Artwork C017 / 7332" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the unique landscape of the red planet. Created through computer artwork based on satellite data, it vividly showcases Mars' topographical features in stunning detail. The image reveals a clear division between two distinct regions: the northern plains and the southern mountainous terrain. The northern plains, depicted as vast stretches virtually devoid of impact craters, are covered by colossal lava flows that hint at an ancient history. In contrast, the southern mountainous region is characterized by a multitude of impact craters, most of which bear witness to their age. The stark difference in elevation between these two areas is approximately 4 kilometers, suggesting that the northern plains may have once been home to an immense ocean. Set against a black background, this artistic representation beautifully captures Mars' geography and showcases its distinctive landforms with precision. It serves as a reminder of our ongoing exploration and fascination with celestial bodies beyond Earth's realm. Created by Carlos Clarivan for Science Photo Library, this illustration combines elements of astronomy and planetary science to provide valuable insights into Mars' altimetry and depths. With its cut-out design from space perspective, this print invites us to contemplate the mysteries that lie within our solar system's enigmatic neighbor - Mars.
