Four images of the surface of Mars acquired by the Tianwen-1 orbiter’s medium-resolution camera between January and February 2022. Do these four pictures look familiar to you? A little hint: the main scenery in the four photos are Peacock Mountain (Pavonis Mons), Arsia Mountain (Arsia Mons), Matt crater (Marth crater) on the Arabian Highlands (Arabia Terra) and Mount Elysium ( Elysium Mons).
That’s right, this is the documentary “Hello! Original images of the four photos of Mars in the opening credits of each episode of Mars. With the advancement of the Mars global image mapping work in 2022, the medium-resolution camera imaging area gradually moves southward to the middle and low latitudes. We have seen more and more shocking Mars photos, and we will slowly share them with you.

Noctis Labyrinthus (Noctis Labyrinthus), taken by the medium-resolution camera of the Tianwen-1 orbiter on February 21, 2022, is a complex canyon in the western section of the Grand Canyon Mariners on the surface of Mars, shaped like a maze. In fact, the Latin name Labyrinthus of this type of landform means “maze at night”, and the Chinese translation of some places is directly called “maze”. Data source: The fourth batch

The Tianwen-1 medium-resolution camera took the wind-eroded landform on the surface of Mars at 65.4° east longitude and 5.1° north latitude on February 17, 2022 (40% original resolution). Each impact crater bears traces of wind erosion, as if meteors flew over the surface of Mars. The reason for this landform is the accumulation of wind and sand formed under the action of the prevailing wind direction.
