Mars is the fourth planet from our Sun in the Solar System. Out of the various planets and moons in our Solar System, Mars perhaps bears the most similarity to Earth, featuring an atmosphere, polar ice caps, and remnants of tectonic activity on the planet’s surface. Mars has fascinated both astronomers and the general public for years, and has been the subject of countless movies and fiction works. Currently, several nations in the world are planning to send missions to Mars for exploration, and NASA’s Spirit Rover recently ended a 6 year exploration of the surface after becoming trapped in sand.
This post will feature 21 unbelievable photographs of Mars, captured by telescope and by space probe. You’ll get to see up close what another planet in our Solar System looks like. Hope you find it interesting!

OMG, amazing photos. For a sec I thought they’re a bit Photoshop-ed but then again, it’s another planet
If they were trees then where are their shadows? This is a govt conspiracy.
The blue colorization is added after the images are taken it helps to show up detail especially since most telescopes don’t work the same way as say a camera they don’t take snapshots in exactly the same way a lot of deep field images and nebula photos have coloring on them but yea they are nice pics so who wants to move out there? or at least start a life in space?
Great photos. Thanks for posting them.
Great Pics. I hope i live to see the day we have landed people on mars.
lawl, call me Barack Obama if those are pictures of the Mars >.>
even if the first one is a digital image, im pretty sure the real thing wouldnt be any less stunning so im fine with it.
this is fake dude..even though this are good picts i have more orignal picts of Mars..just see my website
“http://www.aamjanta.org”
Well, I must say I had no idea that Mars could have such beautiful panoramas!
The colors are excellent, 4 I expected various hues of orange and rust! And so thank you for a nice change from that which I expected. Now, a question: Are these pics of small out of the way places upon the planet, or are there truly large areas with this beauty on Mars?
This is great…I wonder if there is any possibility of a life form in there?
These are literally out of this world pictures. Extraordinary colours, if they are true to life of course! What breathtaking beauty everywhere. I would like to go their even if it meant taking my last dying breath of poisonous air just to see it.
Are all hoax stories for real or is NASA always telling us the truth, who knows? I am betting that if there is verifiable drinking water and a chance of sustained life, I am sure some human somewhere on this planet will be thinking of colonising it soon. Look at the polar areas here as an example of something protected that then can become devoured by development. Nothing is safe!
If there is such a thing as Martian lifeforms, I would be getting prepared for the alien invasion.
Those damned dirty earthlings!
real or not, who cares, fantastic work – thanks for sharing
These pictures (plus another 14) were posted larger and clearer on Boston.com’s Big Picture blog about 3 months ago:

It is amazing what the human ability to conjecture and imagine will create in the visual mind. These are nicely “cropped” pictures, enhanced with color. The rovers paint a more realistic picture of Mars…
more Moon like (lifeless).
My teacher taught me that Mars is a planet that appears red…….I wonder why most photographs of Mars appear… Blue….White….Grey…Maybe the telescope was colour blind….!
Various reasons…atmosphere, telescope, infrared.
The blue one looks like a dolphin, the 13th picture.
with a skull above it?
daaaa….daaaaa…da da.dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum
Ohh!! beautifull..!! I’m never seen this picture before,thanks so much !
wonderful land…!
These are all images from the HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (except for the first one which looks like an artist rendering). They are hi-res photos of actual Martian landscapes taken from over a hundred miles above the planet, but they are not in true-color as your eye would see it because the planetary scientists use the color variations to help see texture differences better in the surface. Check out this one too: http://lightsinthedark.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/southern-dunes/
But these are for real, and are very detailed and very beautiful!
HiRISE site: http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/
so mars is not only red after all
Without descriptions of each photo this page was waste of time…
Whatever else might be said about these photos, the first one isn’t a photo. It’s an exceptional painting, which you may find featured on SPACE.com. (The subject is Olympus Mons.) Sorry if someone spotted this before now, but the list of comments is rather long and my time to spare rather short!
Really fantastic
First pic is Olympus Mons an extinct volcano.
First Pic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympus_mons
that is not mars i object it did not say were and how they got the pictures from there are no NASA discription on it or another space company on its fake pictures of mars. any ways there are not any discribation on were or how or were the pictures came from sorry if some one spotted this before me.
Someone posted:
“The third picture is of the tiny hairs inside a human ear, not Mars at all!”
If this is true, then the whole collection is phoney !
stunning.
Great! I like this photo!I borrowed her for photos for me ultimaul article is perfectly matched. Do an excellent job!

I had just posted two new paintings and someone sent me this link.. because my paintings are of a space nebule…I enjoyed looking at your pictures:)
For me, almost every photo hides parts of the body of woman. Amazing.
i like what i saw but is it real now a days anyone can do wonders with pictures
Mars seems like an incredible place.
Earth 2100. Unless we kill ourselves off by then.
yeah its really unbelievable to know is it real or not?? but if its real its truly amazing and gods gift||
They are all REAL. Trust me. See my previous comment with links.
(But the first one is artwork. Still…very nice to look at.)
Our solar system has lots of amazing places! And that’s only the beginning!
is the blue water??? OMG as far as I know, all of them are real mars pictures except for the first one.
The thing about the color is that the rovers don’t carry regular cameras on board, they take black and white pictures so scientists add colour later to make them more real. Sometimes they add some really weird colours so they can better appreciate differences in the surface, depressions, high lands, etc There is a very colourful picture of the moon out there, along with one of mercury in blue and yellow!!!
personally, i didn’t see much in the way of anything real, but a few pictures. i would like to ask however, where would someone such as yourself get “pictures” like these? Not saying that the images aren’t nice, but how did you come up on these without “help”? i could go into why i think this but doing so would cause you and everyone else not to to have an attention span of pure boredom. but think about logic first. the planet itself is red, how did it get its color without water. its covered in rust, and i find it kind of hard to believe those pictures are real or semi real. i don’t wish to put anyone down on these photos but really why would pictures characterize this planet? when its not even the correct color or for that mater a lot of them are possible just to get a website started (to get google to notice). this being said I’m sorry if i might sound a little outta context but, really this isn’t a fantasy world and we should be looking at pictures not whats comes out of someones fantasy land.
actually tragedy has a point those pictures arent real. because mars isnt that color and plus why would anyone “color” something like that to make it seem better? thats like a person walking up to a perfectly good person and ask what they would change about themself physically? when in reality they have no birth defects and nothing wrong with their mental state. would u trip on a person being blue? and to make them better colored u change them to white black brown etc? its wrong and if u actually want to see pictures go to: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/01/100126-mars-rover-spirit-nasa-stuck/ u will see the real color and see how it got stuck??? lol
Photoshoped
Ok, i think i will save this for thenext time I’ll have to argue with Frank (friend of mine) about it! I wasn’t wrong
Without getting involved in a convoluted Derek Zoolander-type argument over whether these are “real” or not, I’ll just invite anyone who’s confused about these images to visit NASA/JPL’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter website at http://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/mro/. It has all these images and lots more.
The coloration is used to differentiate surface material textures, so planetary scientists at the University of Arizona can study Mars’ geology easier. If the photos were all shades of red and orange it would be harder for them to tell what they were looking at.
Visible light is just one limited part of the spectrum. Many space photos are actually taken in ultraviolet and infrared light, invisible to our eyes but they reveal things we can’t see otherwise. It’s common for space images to not be “natural” color. As light-gathering instruments, our eyes are ok but very limited.
the twelfth pic looks like a tattooed ass
Really beautiful pictures… Good post!
well I’m on agreement with what Lights in The Dark stated. in fact that’s where i went myself to see about the real information. Being its those colors they aren’t what the real pictures are like…
Lights In The Dark has made a good point whether they are great real or not, people shouldn’t be fooled with color. everyone should see about getting real facts rather than living with the thought of something unreal. photoshop is so simple nearly anyone can do it. so look closely before deciding something is real.
