Image Galleries
Spacecraft have captured images of the surface of Mars for five decades. These pictures have provided insight into the history, climate and geology of Earth’s nearest planet. The Mars as Art exhibition showcases selected images returned by spacecraft from NASA and the European Space Agency, or ESA. The visiting spacecraft took the images from orbit and from the planetary surface. Selected by a panel of professional artists, photographers and photo editors, these images are chosen for their aesthetic rather than scientific value.
