About this globe
A color mosaic from NASA's Viking orbiters, the missions that gave us our first detailed color portrait of Mars in the late 1970s. The red comes from iron oxide — the planet is literally rusty.
Fold it and find Olympus Mons, the tallest volcano in the solar system, and Valles Marineris, a canyon system as long as the continental United States.
How the data was captured
Captured by the cameras of NASA's two Viking orbiters, which circled Mars in the late 1970s photographing the surface strip by strip; USGS stitched the passes into this global color mosaic.
