To be fair to Ben, he never said there was no H20 on Mars; he said there was no fog or snow, which is true. There’s ice, quite a bit of frozen water and carbon dioxide, but the ice is locked up on the poles, not flowing around through the atmosphere like it does on Earth. The atmospheric effects shown in these pictures are fantasy, definitely created by a program like Terragen.

There are many beautiful photos of Mars on NASA’s website. None of them show atmospheric effects like this, but they are all worth checking out!

Sunrise on mars is actually blue…

It’s the opposite of earth – red during the day and blue during sunrise/sunset.

@ LIZ D.
Thank you for telling us that there is ice caps on mars. It is a weird phenomenon don’t you think? Also people shouldn’t get criticized for not knowing this. A truly intelligent person such as yourself would be glad to help someone and glad that some people don’t know these things (such as myself), so you should help them, not criticize. Thank you though.

Are these your imagined renderings of what a Martian morning would look like? If so it is very impressive, otherwise you should give details of what we are supposed to make out of these pictures. You could at least venture on a few sentences of description or give some references to the origin of these images.

OMG! i so want to go, if its real or not!!!…….

An Earthling is very right about expanding to mars though….good points there, a bit to idealist sadly….(and im an idealist too) but humans are prone to argue and fight,… then again, if we didnt then we prob would be very boring hunter/gatherer communtiys still, and that would be rather boring!

but i wish what you are wishing Earthling:

check these photos out…
