All these Mars landscape shots are incredible and astonishingly beautiful. Some are taken from over the polar icecaps

Wow.

 

 

 

There was a similar shot shared yesterday on APOD with the Martian moon Phobos.

Un-freakin-believably astounding pics. Some have me thinking of what you'd see under a petri dish of alien microbial stuff, others have me thinking of water ripples. Many just really strange looking.

 

Thanks Martin.

Most excellent!

I remember that Carl Sagan had to argue to get a camera added to the instrumentation put on the first probes. The bean counters couldn’t see any scientific reason for taking pictures of another world.

simply amazing.

Exquisite content, exquisitely executed...quite moving to see such natural beauty.Thanks Martin.

Fascinating pictures! Thanks for sharing. What a wide range of terrain. Are those pictures enhanced or is that very much what we would see if we were there?

My eyes just welled up with tears.

 

I hope I can explore space. I want it like nothing else...

Martin thank you for this, too. It breaks my heart to think what men like Lowell, and Burroughs, and even Wells missed out on. Could we exist at a better time? We are so incredibly lucky, aren't we .....

I have small video about Mars
