Images from Mars are very difficult these days. And it’s no surprise because NASA has landed a Perseverance rover on the surface of the Red Planet. But NASA has more eyes on Mars. In addition to ‘boots on the ground’, so to speak, NASA’s ‘Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’ (MRO) is currently in orbit around Mars.
The MRO has put out a brilliant image of Mars freezing docks. NASA has posted the photo on Instagram.
“… Our Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) brought back another impressive image taken on the Red Planet captured by our powerful HiRISE camera, this time showing the stunning image of docks The sand dunes are home to a 5km stretch of sand dunes, which are found in the upper reaches of Mars’ northern plains. The strips and other features are the result of sub-ice. land that comes with the seasonal meltdown. “NASA said in its Instagram post. The post is fast approaching 1 million appearances.
The image was shot by the MRO using HiRise, an onboard camera.
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter monitors the geology and climate of Mars. It provides valuable information that can come in handy to make a decision about coming to Mars in the future. MRO was launched in 2006 and was orbited around Mars in 2015.
