Our take
AI-draftedThis Taschen collection assembles six decades of Mars imagery, from Mariner 4's grainy 1965 flybys to the high-resolution work of current rovers, framed by essays from NASA veterans and captions from planetary scientist Emily Lakdawalla. A review from the Austrian Space Forum praised the production quality and the pairing of historical and contemporary images, but flagged the book's near-total reliance on NASA material as sidelining other space agencies' Mars work.
