If You Could Stand on Mars

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

What would you see if you could stand on Mars? The Viking 1 lander answered this in 1976 with images like this one. Dark rocks, red soil, and a green-tinged sky characterize a normal Martian afternoon. The red color of the soil is due to abundant iron. Mars's surface also has huge craters, canyons, and volcanoes.
