22 Pics Of Mars Surface Like You've Never Seen It Before

Stunning new images of deep canyons and spidery frost deposits on Mars, plus new gassy discoveries, are rocking the science world in a month already full of red planet news as a total of three new Mars spacecraft headed for the red planet — China’s first rover, a new NASA rover and an orbiter from the UAE. and the NASA Perseverance rover. All these scientific expeditions aim to further our knowledge and understanding of Mars. See what the Red Planet surface looks like in photos:

A gully in the sand dunes of Matara Crater on the surface of Mars, carved by seasonal dry ice that accumulates each year. A field of barchan sand dunes appear turquoise blue on the surface of Mars in this enhanced image taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Two geologically young craters on the surface of Mars. Cliffs of ancient ice on the surface of Mars, featuring brown dusty cliff walls and light blue ice.  Dunes on Mars are almost free of their seasonal ice cover during early Martian summer, with pockets of ice still visible in areas protected by shade, as seen in this Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter image. The surface of Mars after a meteoroid hit and exploded, creating an impact crater 5 meters across that triggered a one-kilometer-long slope streak, or avalanche.

A view of the Ophir Chasma on the northern portion of the vast Mars canyon system, Vallles Marineris, taken by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.  Nili Patera, one of the most active dune fields on the planet Mars. Image taken by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. A view shows Mars in a picture taken after UAE’s Hope Probe entered orbit in the first Arab Mars mission, February 2021. Rough spherical features in an area called Yellowknife Bay. These features are interpreted as concretions, implying they formed in water that percolated through pores in the sediment. Spherical concretions have previously been discovered in other rocks on Mars.
