Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System after Mercury. In English, Mars carries a name of the Roman god of war, and is often referred to as the "Red Planet" because the reddish iron oxide prevalent on its surface. While you may never travel to Mars yourself, this high resolution false color satellite image is a unique way to view the planet. The focal point of the image is a fresh impact crater on the Martian surface, which beautifully illustrates a harsh and alien world.
