ESA's Mars Express Reveals Stunning New Global Color Mosaic of Mars

To mark the 20th anniversary of ESA's Mars Express mission, the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) team has created a new global color mosaic of Mars, revealing the planet's surface color and composition in spectacular detail. The mosaic highlights reddish oxidized iron, dark volcanic basaltic sands, and bright areas suggesting the past presence of liquid water. The mission will continue until at least 2026.
