Just had to share these amazing images of mars from dutch artist Kees Veenenbos. He is one of the leading digital artist's who creates amazing renderings of space and planetary landscapes. His work has been featured in national geographic on numerous occasions, as well as being used in several NASAs projects. In fact, the majority of his mars digital elevation models have been used by NASA depicting beautiful images of mars, including creative concept renderings with water and ice present on the Martian surface.

Might that be the actual diameter of our Sun as seen from Mars. . Looks pretty small. What an extra 30 million miles or so will do .
