Mars looks STUNNING in 8K! Perseverance Rover sol 354

I have a 1440p monitor and it looks stunning so I guess it looks more stunning in 8k but here's the view from Perseverance Rover of the Jezero crater in all its rocky glory assembled by Seán Doran from 44 images sent home by Percy which celebrated its first anniversary on Mars last week.

Made with 44 images from Perseverance Rover on Sol 354
Image data was denoised, repaired, stitched, graded and rescaled for this film.

The scene is as it has been for millions / billions of years so it could as well be a live stream as nothing is going to change in the foreseeable ... apart from a few rover tracks of course.

So stunning I might have to make that my desktop for a while.

I could loop that video and watch it for hours, which helps keep things in perspective. That's earth one day in the future, signs of the current civilization will all be gone

I would love, love, love to see Earth with all signs of civilization gone. But what we're looking at on Mars is all signs of life gone. I hope someday Earthings will be able to live, thrive maybe below the surface, underground but able to enjoy the surface and still allow nature to flourish without dams, highways, contrails and chemical smoke stacks and islands of floating plastic debris in the oceans.

I guess the question is, "Are we looking at virgin soil, or the soil of a planet where life has been snuffed out?".

Long ago they admitted they tint the pictures, why do they still make the sky orange I wonder when they already showed us and admitted it is not.

Amazing.

After watching it for a few minutes I sort of get why some people are desperate to see some sign of life or civilisation etc.

Well once the liquid core solidifies...lol Think we have a few more years or billions...lol

Nature will/has flourished with or without humans, so not sure your point here other than to say you hate humans...lol You ever hear of snowball earth where ALL life was knocked back to very basic life deep in the oceans, and then a few 100 million years we have dinosaurs and massive live growth all over the planet when things warmed up some.

We can't stop nature even if we tried as humans are just a speck of life and time to nature.

I think mankind's future lies either in the sky, like The Jetsons, or below the surface.

Well I don't want to see us turn into dwarfs like LOTR. I can see us inside asteroids though.

I wouldn't say "stunning" but rather unique. It's a rocky world that is pretty bland. I need some color lol but I get it, the story behind Mars is very intriguing for sure.

Or, how long until the Sun starts going Red Giant and does for us all? DOOM!

That was my first thought too... put it on loop before going to bed.

What If This Is A Dream?

Because it’s not real… didn’t some kid find the exact same landscapes used to fake the mars landing? a reply to: SeaWorthy

No.

Looks like rocks and sand to me. No grass or shrubs anywhere.


At least it is not all snow, that would be depressing. We just got thirty two inches of snow over the last two days. I had to take out the tractor with the 80 inch snowblower on it and it still took me two hours of blowing to open up the drive, I plowed yesterday with twelve inches and it got all clogged up...the eighteen inches we had gotten I blew away this morning.

Yeah, sand and rock are pretty nice to see on a picture after that.

My guess would be it's because most people still believe the planet to have a red sky and red everything, it being the red planet, after all...

Lots of stunning images lately...

ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter spacecraft captured a GIANT solar eruption on February 15, 2022.

It already is .
From the very start .
We have , IIRC , about 70 million years till the danger zone .

So fake the color so people can still believe a lie? Weird you think that makes sense!
