Stunning views of Mars

Outstanding digital photo processing methods Dutchman Kees Venebosa been demonstrated in National Geographic and on the site of NASA. He produced the image processing using the landscape modeling Terragen. He has worked with various versions of this program since 1999. Most of the photos were obtained by digital simulation of heights on images from different satellites of NASA, such as Mars Global Surveyor. He did a lot of photos for National Geographic, not only Mars but also the good old Earth and other planets of the solar system and extrasolar planets other systems. We have compiled a collection of his most beautiful and fantastic pictures of Mars.
1. The southern end of the crater Holden. Rockies close sun that breaks through the clouds, forming a star shape.
2. Gusev Crater in ancient times. The place where the rover landed AGV-Spirit MER2003. Recently there was a sandstorm.
3. Valles Marineris. Valley of the Mariner after the dust storm, views of the valley from the canyon Koprat (in the foreground).
4. Noachianskaya epoch on Mars. It looked like Mars about 4 billion years ago. North Rift is filled with water at the bottom of a large lake - that's meridians. The rover Opportunity has found the presence of this inland sea. Picture made for the July issue of National Geo. 2005.
5. Plain Argir. Conceptual image for National Geographic: Mars in the period when he loses water billions of years ago. Salt deposits, cracks in the mud, the formation of hematite, dust storms, and falling meteors.
6. Crater Maraldi on icy Mars. It made for the cover of the January issue of National Geographic magazine in 2004.
7. The southern part of the plain Chryse. Ancient view of the southern area of the valley Rhys surrounded by valleys of Ares and Mariner.
8. The Martian North Pole and the North Pole razlom.Severny (left) and North Rift. The large crater at the top - a crater Queen, whose diameter is 85 km away.
9. Cave, located on the northern slope of a Martian crater Gale. View of the cave on the northern slope of the crater Gale. Cone crater Gale - left.
10. Sunrise on Mount Elysium. Image done for an exhibition at Madrid's Planetarium, which was dedicated to Mars. Left - Mount Dome of Hecate, the right - Dome Alboraya.
11. Place of landing AGV-rover Spirit. Detail of Gusev crater (background - Mount Hasbend Hill). Ancient Mars, fumaroles, sediment from hot water.
12. It looked like Mars in the Ice Age.
13. Sunrise on Mount Olympus. Sunrise in the morning fog on the plateau of Tharsis. Olympus volcano seen from the area of Lycus Sulci.
14. Mariner Valley. Foggy morning on the slopes of one of the eroded mountains Mariner Valley.
15. The crater Schiaparelli. Light low standing in the sun does not reach the western edge. The diameter of the crater Schiaparelli is 450 kilometers (280 miles).
16. Orcus Patera Crater at sunset. Orcus Patera Crater unusual oval shape formed due to a meteorite that grazed Mars.
17. The southern edge of the crater Gale. Strange cloud above a ravine that leads to the crater Gale. Cone Crater can be seen just below the sun. View of the north-east.
18. Crater Geyla.Zakat over the area Cimmeria. View of the crater with Gale Aeolian plateau.
19. Place of landing AGV-rover Spirit. It looked like Gusev noachianskuyu era. Another kontse6ptualnaya work, where there is more water and fumaroles.
20. Rift Melas at dawn. Place the rover's landing №2. Rift Melas.
21. Mars segodnya.Eto image is printed with the image noachianskoy age (below) in the July issue of National Geographic Magazine in 2005.
22. Mars, if it was the Earth - Valley Kase. Kase Valley and the Valley of Rhys. Below - a passage in the Valles Marineris. Against the backdrop of nebulae and stars.
23. Place of landing Phoenix. Right - the edge of the crater Heimdall.
24. The North Pole and the North Rift. On the left is one of the largest craters, the crater of the Queen (about 85 km in diameter).
25. Rift Ius Chasma (Valles Marineris). Ius Chasma (western part of the Mariner Valley) with dust and mist.
26. Mount Tharsis. Mountain Arsiya, Peacock and Askriyskaya. View from the southwest to the northeast. Left - Biblis crater (left) and the Ulysses crater.
27. Mount Olympus in ancient times. So it could look like Mount Olympus, about 4 billion years ago. Present water and more dense atmosphere. Picture made for the exhibition at Madrid's Planetarium.
28. Mount Arsiya. Mountain Arsiya reaches a height of 20 km, its diameter is 450 km diameter caldera more than 120 km.
29. Tharsis Dome. Tharsis Dome during a sandstorm photographed "upside down." Tharsis volcanoes rise above the sandstorm area.
