NASA The Martian Chronicles
Cool pictures of our red neighbor in the solar system.
1. Southern wall of the crater Holden. Rays of the sun, pulled out from under the peaked rocks, highlighting the transparent clouds in the shape of a star. (Image Credit: Data: NASA / Art: Kees Veenenbos)
2. Gusev Crater on ancient Mars. Once there land rover «Spirit MER2003». Panorama of the ancient planet after the dust storm. (Image Credit: Data: NASA / Art: Kees Veenenbos)
3. Valles Marineris. The consequences of dust storms in the canyon Koprat (front), in the Valles Marineris. (Image Credit: Data: NASA / Art: Kees Veenenbos)
4. The image of Mars Noachianskoy era. The planet about 4 billion. Years ago. The picture shows the crater, located on the Great Plains of North (Vastitas Bolearis), filled with water. A large lake located in the lower right corner of the image - a district of the meridians. Here rover «Opportunity» found signs of an inland sea. This image was made for the July issue of the journal National Geo in 2005. (Image Credit: Data: NASA / Art: Kees Veenenbos)
5. Argyre Planitia (Argyre Planitia). Concept for National Geographic. View of Mars during the evaporation of water from its surface a few billion. Years ago. The images show the salt deposits, cracks in the surface, with the content of hematite dust devils and falling meteorites. (Image Credit: Data: NASA / Art: Kees Veenenbos)
