Artist Nickolay Lamm has created a series of illustrations with the help of Marilyn Vogel that depict New York City would look like on other planets. She has a Ph.D. in Astrobiology, worked at NASA Ames for five years, and now teaches science at the university level. The below is on Mars.
"The Red Planet has a cold, thin carbon dioxide atmosphere about 100 times thinner than our own. The atmospheric lack of density is actually a major stumbling block to getting objects to the surface, since parachutes are insufficient. The oxidizing chemistry on Mars means that immigrants would see a very rusted Statue of Liberty if they were ever to stumble upon such a sight. Fine dust particles would also quickly cover New York during one of the planet’s frequent dust storms."
