Fifteen years imaging the Red Planet
On 25 December 2003, ESA?s Mars Express entered orbit around the Red Planet. The spacecraft began returning the first images from orbit using its High Resolution Stereo Camera just a couple of weeks later, and over the course of its fifteen year history has captured thousands of images covering the globe.
This video compilation highlights some of the stunning scenes revealed by this long-lived mission. From breathtaking horizon-to-horizon views to the close-up details of ice- and dune-filled craters, and from the polar ice caps and water-carved valleys to ancient volcanoes and plunging canyons, Mars Express has traced billions of years of geological history and evolution.

very nice Mars ground that I like ! can you plant a tree on it , one day ?
I don?t see any water, lake, river , ocean, palm trees .
I would love to climb some of those polar ice cliffs 🙂
Add a drone earth controled and you'll have close views
If there are some living organism on Mars, i think the Mariner canyon would be the best place to start looking.
once humans lived there when sun was stronger than today.
I'm amused that so far 40 people have given views of Mars the 'thumbs down'. What, in the words of Basil Fawlty, were they expecting? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, perhaps?
Gostei do v?deo combina com a m?sica
