Fine work. I'd like to know if you took this photo 4.5 billion years ago, or do you have a time machine. Spectacular.

John, it takes not only an enormous imagination but also excellent artistic skills to visualize what has taken place some 4.5 billion years ago.
For me, you possess those qualities as witnessed by your excellent render!

It is thought that, during the Solar System's formation, Mars was created as the result of a random process of run-away accretion of material from the protoplanetary disk that orbited the Sun. Sort of like a gigantic Saturn and its ring system. Mars has many distinctive chemical features caused by its position in the Solar System. Elements with comparatively low boiling points, such as chlorine, phosphorus, and sulfur, are much more common on Mars than Earth; these elements were probably pushed outward by the young Sun's energetic solar wind. Much of the surface is deeply covered by finely grained iron(III) oxide dust, hence the famous red color.

To my own eyes this image looks as though we are watching the formation of the planet, in vastly sped up time, and as though through a symmetrically fractured panel of glass, much like a kaleidoscope. I love that fragmentation and the color and the idea of space and time. Kudos, John, big time.
