A Concept of Wet Mars

Over the years, scientists have found evidence revealing that an ocean may have covered parts of the Red Planet billions of years ago.

Others suggest that a future terra-formed Mars could be lush with oceans and vegetation.

 In either scenario, what would Mars look like as a planet alive with water and life?

By combining data from several sources — along with a bit of creative license — software engineer Kevin Gill has created some gorgeous images showing concepts of what a “living Mars” might look like from orbit, turning the Red Planet into its own version of the Blue Marble.
