Viking 2 Image of Mars Utopian Plain
The boulder-strewn field of red rocks reaches to the horizon nearly two miles from Viking 2 on Mars Utopian Plain. Scientists believe the colors of the Martian surface and sky in this photo represent their true colors. Fine particles of red dust have settled on spacecraft surfaces. The salmon color of the sky is caused by dust particles suspended in the atmosphere. Color calibration charts for the cameras are mounted at three locations on the spacecraft. Note the blue starfield and red stripes of the flag. The circular structure at top is the high-gain antenna, pointed toward Earth. Viking 2 landed September 3, 1976, some 4600 miles from its twin, Viking 1, which touched down on July 20

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring landscape of Mars' Utopian Plain, as captured by Viking 2. The boulder-strewn field of red rocks stretches endlessly towards the horizon, creating a mesmerizing sight that transports us to another world. Scientists believe that the colors depicted in this image truly represent the Martian surface and sky, providing valuable insights into our neighboring planet. The fine particles of red dust settled on the spacecraft surfaces serve as a testament to the harsh environment encountered by Viking 2 during its mission. These particles contribute to the salmon coloration of the sky, caused by their suspension in Mars' thin atmosphere. Notably, color calibration charts for cameras are mounted at three locations on the spacecraft, ensuring accurate representation of these otherworldly hues. As we delve deeper into this photograph, our gaze is drawn towards two striking features: a vivid blue starfield and bold red stripes adorning a flag. These elements remind us that even amidst an alien terrain, human presence has left its mark through exploration and scientific endeavor. Atop this remarkable image sits a circular structure - none other than Viking 2's high-gain antenna pointed towards Earth. This technological marvel allowed vital communication between scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and their interplanetary creation. Viking 2 successfully landed on September 3rd, 1976 approximately 4600 miles away from its twin counterpart Viking 1 which touched down earlier on July 20th. Together
