Washington - Photos from Mars probes shown by museum
Print Edition
Ten years after NASA landed two rovers on Mars for a 90-day mission, one is still exploring, and the project has generated hundreds of thousands of images from the planet’s surface.
Now the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum is presenting more than 50 of the best photographs from the two rovers known as Spirit and Opportunity in an art exhibit curated by the scientists who have led the mission. “Spirit and Opportunity: 10 Years Roving Across Mars” includes many large-scale photographs of craters, hills, dunes, dust clouds, meteorites, rock formations and the Martian sunset.
The rovers landed in January 2004 on opposite sides of Mars and explored volcanic deposits and plains, as well as meteorites and impact craters, so the exhibit also focuses on science. Uncovering signs of the past presence of water and a more habitable environment were among the discoveries.
