Is there life on mars? Well, if _This is Mars_, a new publication from Aperture is anything to go by – the jury’s still out. The book turns a HiROSE telescopic lens on the mysterious red planet via panoramic images captured by U.S Observation satellite known as Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter or MRO.

Curiosity captured by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s HiRISE camera on April 18th. In the picture you see curiosity climbing up Mont Mercou in Gale Crater on Mars. Curiosity is about the size if a small car, but looks tiny from 269 km (167 miles) above the surface. Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) is a spacecraft designed to study the geology and climate of Mars, provide reconnaissance of future landing sites, and relay data from surface missions back to Earth. It was launched on August 12, 2005 and reached Mars on March 10, 2006.

Mars has bright polar caps of ice that are easily visible from telescopes on Earth. A seasonal cover of carbon-dioxide ice and snow is observed to advance and retreat over the poles during the Martian year. Scientists using radar data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) have found a record of the most recent Martian ice age recorded in the planet's north polar ice cap. This image is a simulated 3-D perspective view of Chasma Boreale, a canyon that reaches 570 kilometers (350 miles) into the north polar cap. It was created from image data taken by the THEMIS instrument on NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft. Canyon walls rise about 1,400 meters (4,600 feet) above the floor of Chasma Boreale. Where the edge of the ice cap has retreated, sheets of sand are emerging that accumulated during earlier ice-free climatic cycles. Winds blowing off the ice are pushing loose sand into dunes, driving them down-canyon in a westward direction.
