Ansel Adams on Mars? Some striking black-and-white images from four current NASA missions. 📸 1) A fissure in Elysium Planitia - MRO 2) A dust devil caught in Jezero Crater - Perseverance 3) Boxwork formations in Gale Crater - Curiosity 4) A channel in Arabia Terra - Odyssey

Love this Ansel Adams-inspired take on Mars! 🌑 These B&W views really highlight the raw geology: fresh tectonic cracks in Elysium (MRO), a spinning dust devil dancing across Jezero (Perseverance), beautiful boxwork veins in Gale (Curiosity), and an ancient river channel carved in Arabia Terra (Odyssey). Fun fact: some of these features formed when Mars was geologically active and much wetter — billions of years ago it probably looked far more Earth-like than we usually imagine. Stunning set! 🚀

@NASAMars @NASAJPL @NASASolarSystem NASA Mars posting black and white photography and calling it 'Ansel Adams' while Curiosity has been out there for 12 years with no filter.

@NASAMars @NASAJPL @NASASolarSystem Nice fresh secondaries in the CTX image ☄️

@NASAMars @NASAJPL @NASASolarSystem Like clay drying & cracking under pressure

@NASAMars @NASAJPL @NASASolarSystem Why in black-and-white?

@NASAMars @NASAJPL @NASASolarSystem All features formed by electric/plasma processes.

@NASAMars @NASAJPL @NASASolarSystem That dust devil is so cool!😎

@NASAMars @NASAJPL @NASASolarSystem All with the good graces of Trump's year in the Presidency.

@NASAMars @NASAJPL @NASASolarSystem Do the astronauts going to Mars know that they won’t be coming back to Earth ? Surely they will be told !

@NASAMars @NASAJPL @NASASolarSystem A path long travelled

@NASAMars @NASAJPL @NASASolarSystem Reminds me of how mercury flows

@NASAMars @NASAJPL @NASASolarSystem Light shine from collapsing vortex of fine crystals

@NASAMars @NASAJPL @NASASolarSystem Thank you for sharing👌🙏

@NASAMars @NASAJPL @NASASolarSystem These photos are amazing.
