{"product_id":"mars-needlepoint-canvas","title":"Mars, the Bringer of War","description":"\u003cp\u003eMars in rust, ember, and deep umber, with the pale frost of the polar cap at the top of the sphere and a long dark canyon cutting diagonally across the face. This needlepoint canvas gives the red planet its full range of warm color, from bright oxide at the limb to near-black in the shadowed lowlands. Part of the Astronomy Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat canyon is Valles Marineris, the largest in the solar system: more than two thousand five hundred miles long, as much as four hundred miles across, and in places four miles deep. Set down over North America it would reach from California to New York. It carries the name of Mariner 9, the spacecraft that photographed it in 1971 and 1972—the first craft from Earth to orbit another planet, and the one that found the canyon waiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished as a framed miniature, an ornament, or one of a full Astronomy series, this canvas is especially lovely for anyone who has followed the rovers, or simply looked for the red one among the stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e— Mesh count: 18\u003cbr\u003e— Skill level: Advanced\u003cbr\u003e— Canvas size: 8 x 8 inches\u003cbr\u003e— Finishing suggestions: Framed miniature, ornament, or a piece in a full Astronomy series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKIT OPTIONS\u003cbr\u003e1.
