Summary

Description

Inspired by recent news that using the instruments on the Curiosity rover, NASA has been able to determine that Gale Crater used to contain a lake of liquid water.

Crater is modeled using altimetry data derived from the ESA's Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC). Surface coloring for the foreground crater is a colorized version of the same HRSC imagery. The background terrain is re-colorized (to match) Viking imagery. Created and rendered using Autodesk Maya with postadjustments in Adobe Photoshop.
