Now: Vivid views courtesy of MRO
NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has been capturing spectacular views of the Red Planet since 2006. The false-color image above shows a batch of wind-related features, including ridges, sand dunes and mega-ripples near Gamboa Crater. These days, our views of the Martian surface are practically as good as our space-based views of Earth, not to mention the ground-based views from the various rovers that have worked on the Red Planet over the years.
