“Mars and Orion over Monument Valley” is copyrighted by Wally Pacholka (Astropics, TWAN). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteMars and the constellation Orion stand over the iconic buttes of Monument Valley, USA. The two buttes on the left are known as the Mittens, with Merrick Butte on the right. In this 2007 image, Mars shines brightly in orange, while the familiar stars of Orion are visible above. The buttes are remnants of harder rock, left behind after softer surrounding rock eroded away.
