A new color view of Mars

A new color view of Mars
A new color view of Mars The European Space Agency's Mars Express mission marked its 20-year launch anniversary on June 2, 2023. To celebrate, the spacecraft's High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) team created a new Mars mosaic in which each constituent image is individually color-matched using high-altitude imagery models. The result is a richer, color global view of Mars than has ever been created before. ESA/DLR/FU Berlin/G. Michael
