Timelapse of Hera’s Mars flyby
On 12 March 2025, ESA’s Hera spacecraft soared just 5000 km above Mars and passed within 300 km of its distant moon, Deimos. Captured by Hera’s 1020×1020 pixel Asteroid Framing Camera, this video sequence offers a rare view of the red planet and its enigmatic moon. The original greyscale images have been colour-enhanced based on known surface features.

When humans finally find a plant with living organisms that will be the day the future for mankind begins.. .
Having grown up at a time when I saw the first lunar landing on TV while in high school, I'm still amazed how far we have come in probing the solar system and observing the universe. I had to Google it, but found out that Hera is primarily a planetary defense mission to gather information about how we might prevent another great extinction via asteroid impact.
Что то фпса мало
Someday people will have that view!
Whoever composed the soundtrack to accompany this video sequence… amazing.
