The Boston Globe keeps up their excellent photojournalism work but this time the images are from a bit further away...our red neighbor (no, not the communist) Mars.
From The Boston Globe...
Since 2006, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has been orbiting Mars, currently circling approximately 187 miles above the Martian surface. On board the MRO is HiRISE, the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera, which has been photographing the planet for several years now at resolutions as fine as mere inches per pixel. Collected here is a group of images from HiRISE over the past few years showing intricate details of landscapes from the surface of our neighboring planet, Mars.
To see the full gallery of images and to read the captions for the photos above, click here.
Also, via Google Earth you can take a virtual tour of Mars and view the latest in high res images as they stream from various spacecraft located on or around Mars. Check out the short video below...this is pretty cool stuff.
