The camera opens on Mars, the Red Planet, beneath a colossal, blazing sun occupying a vast expanse of the sky. The scene captures a landscape bathed in a suffocating glow, with towering dust devils twisting in the distance. Sunlight beats down on the Martian soil, now a network of deep, desiccated cracks, as shimmering heat waves rise from the scorched earth. Sparse, hardy plants show signs of withering under the relentless, sweltering heat. The atmosphere hums with the silence of an overheated world, a testament to the extremities of Martian weather when the sun reigns supreme.
