Between art and science, this work offers a unique vision of the planet Mars by bringing together for the first time a series of panoramic images recently transmitted by the American observation satellite MRO.
Equipped with the Hirise telescope, this satellite maps the planet's surface with exceptional resolution. Each photo shows an area 6 km wide and reveals the entire geography of the planet Mars.

Director of the project at NASA, Alfred McEwen will present the mission that this camera equipped with an extremely precise telescope intends to fulfill, the astrophysicist Francis Rocard will tell the story of the origins of the planet and its evolution and the planetologist and geophysicist Nicolas Mangold will reveal the geological secrets of Mars through captions accompanying each image.
