MARS IS: STARK SLOPES, SILVERY SNOW, AND STARTLING SURPRISES

Suzanne Slade, a former mechanical engineer, examines Mars through images and information collected by NASA’s HiRISE camera. The book presents the planet’s landscape and visual beauty in a photo-rich format. Its material draws on the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment, a NASA camera used to gather Mars imagery. The Red Planet and NASA’s continuing Mars Exploration Program provide the scientific context. The book brings together space science, planetary images, and observations from a mission studying Mars.
