Mars in 4K: The Ultimate Edition

Mars in 4K - The Ultimate Edition. The best images of Mars in stunning 4k 60fps.

"Mars in 4K: The Ultimate Edition" presents an unprecedented visual exploration of Mars, enriched by the groundbreaking missions of NASA's Mars rovers. This video, with its stunning 4K resolution, offers a journey across the Martian landscape, revealing the planet's beauty and scientific wonders.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few years ago I threw together some Mars images and rendered them in 4k. Back then, I had little editing knowledge. The video went on to get over 60 Million views. It was something that hadn't been done before, and was a case of the right place at the right time. I'm not expecting this video to come close to the view count of the original, but I just wanted to do it justice and give you all something nice to watch. Thank you all so much for your support over the years, and thanks to our patrons for your contributions to the channel. - ElderFox

The footage, captured directly by NASA's Mars rovers - Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance - unveils the red planet's intricate details. These rovers, acting as robotic geologists, have traversed varied terrains, from ancient lake beds to towering mountains, uncovering Mars' complex geological history.

As viewers enjoy these images, they will notice informal place names assigned by NASA's team, providing context to the Martian features observed. Each rover's unique journey is highlighted, showcasing their contributions to Martian exploration.

Spirit and Opportunity, the trailblazers, revealed the first conclusive evidence of water on Mars, forever changing our understanding of the planet. The Curiosity rover, a mobile laboratory, has been climbing Mount Sharp for over a decade, unveiling layers of Martian history and providing insights into the planet's climatic changes.

Perseverance, the latest rover, accompanied by the Ingenuity helicopter, explores Jezero Crater, an ancient lakebed. This duo represents the pinnacle of Mars exploration technology, with Ingenuity serving as the first aircraft to fly on another planet, scouting and capturing breathtaking aerial images.

The video also delves into the scientific achievements of these missions. Discoveries of past water systems on Mars lead to the tantalizing question of past life on the planet. Each rover's journey, such as Opportunity's 28-mile trek, is a testament to human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of knowledge.

As viewers immerse themselves in this Martian experience, they are reminded of the significance of these moments in cosmic history. The video encourages viewers to appreciate the monumental strides made in understanding our celestial neighbor and to share this awe-inspiring journey with others.

Finally, the video invites viewers to delve deeper into the ongoing saga of the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter, encouraging exploration of the full journey these incredible machines have embarked upon on the Martian surface.

I can't help but look at these images with a huge grin on my face. Incredible! We're looking at the surface of another planet. Another planet! It still is sinking in even though they've been there for years. These images really make other planets seem more real and not just some ethereal theory. Amazing.

[PhantomlyReaper]

It may not happen in our current lifetime, but I can't even begin to imagine what it will feel like for a person to walk on the surface of Mars and find our lost rovers. It makes me sad to think I won't be here when it happens, but I'm glad to experience this current moment.

No water, no air to breathe, extremely low temperatures, just rocks, yet fascinating in some strange way.

[porkyheroes]

It's literally unbelievable, just think for a second that we're seeing images of a different planet, it's quite fascinating and hard to digest. Makes you want to have so many questions..

[Percyripped]

Its so weird seeing something so familiar then realizing its technically the most unifamiliar thing possible

[doomedoptimism]

You know, as cool as it is that we have landed robots on another planet and been able to transmit such clear images back to us is, more than anything it makes me just appreciate Earth, and the fact that literally no where else on the planet can hold a candle to what Earth has.

It is amazing how science has evolved during my life time on the topic of Mars. Having been born during WWII, as a boy I grew up wondering if perhaps Mars was truly inhabited. Early scientific observation during the 1950's era told us there might be canals on Mars indicating civilization. I remember dreaming of humans finally exploring Mars one day within my lifetime to solve this incredible mystery of life on Mars. And while the human exploration has not taken place, I feel the remote exploration has provided so many new thoughts about Mars and its place in our solar system. Now, almost age 80 I await the next chapter.

Looking at another world while I’m on the toilet… what a time to be alive 🎉

[Glaccius]

Mars is the only planet with a population of robots

I remember back in 1983 or 84 a teacher told us in a classroom (I was 13 or 14 years old) that we were a fortunate generation because during our lifetime we would get to Mars and boy he was right. I never forget it and he is long gone now but his statement lives in me every time I look at the Mars pictures. Just amazing!

"My battery is low and it is getting dark." I teared up a little. That little rover performed its duty to the end. These images are soul-stirring.

[annferguson]

The Opportunity rover last message is so haunting and somewhat sentient.

The perfect place for super introverts, no small talk, no babbling idiots just me, a desert and my e-book reader!

[AT-ygnk]

it blows my mind how in my experience... Only 3-4 generations ago my relatives were living in the open farm country of Iowa and then decided to migrate west to California. They traveled by wagon and slept outdoors, fearful of their lives from the native tribes. And 4 generations later....here I am watching 4K HIGH RESOLUTION videos of machines we sent to MARS, taking video and film and beaming that signal to Earth, where its decoded and sent via WIFI signal to my computer allowing me to watch firsthand highly detailed images of Mars!! All in the comfort on my HOME! As my relatives were amazed at the expanse and mystery of the wild frontier, here I am with similar feelings while looking at this images of Mars.

Это потрясающе! Вот на что должны быть направлены умы человечества, а не на войны!

[gsthukovaca]

МНЕ так интересно сидя на кухне смотреть как там на Марсе😊😊😊👍!!! БОЛЬШОЕ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКОЕ СПАСИБО ХОРОШЕГО ВАМ ДНЯ❤❤❤

What I most love about these photos is that they show the landscape, rather than just individual sections of rock, because it gives us a sense of what it’s like to be there, looking around at the beautiful, barren, alien landscape. It’s all so intriguing and I can’t get enough of the photos. Thank you for providing them.

[KiwikimNZ]

I’ve always been fascinated by our Earth, moon, sun, planets and the vastness of space. What a privilege to see these images! Thank you

[HumanStateOfEmergency]

Im absolutely blown away. Here I am sitting on my couch looking at real, absolute clear images of another planet and its incredible surface. WOW
