Aerial view, looking down upon Mars' Great Scar—an immense canyon. A scientific research station, almost a futuristic city, stands on its edge. Large boulders and small rocky spurs are scattered throughout the terrain. The city is perched atop a massive rocky outcrop, overlooking the vast canyon, a barren desert valley. Its architecture is sleek and harmonious, made of glass and steel. A grand building with a colossal astronomical observatory dome towers over the other structures. Multiple platforms host residential and research facilities, with scattered lights, intricate staircases, and antennas spread throughout. The city is surrounded by a vast expanse of frozen rock. At the base of the outcrop, a dozen smaller research domes, pipelines, conduits, and massive extraction machines fill the foreground, where activity is bustling across the plain. In the distance, a glacier stretches across the frozen expanse, not far from a spaceport. The sky is intensely illuminated as the sun sets, casting an orange glow over the icy blue city. The air is frigid, with ice crystals drifting in the wind, lifting snow and dust just above the ground
