The most detailed images to date have been captured of one of Mars’ moons. The space probe was part of a mission sent by the United Arab Emirates Space Agency. The images show incredibly detailed and clear views of Deimos, the smallest and farthermost of Mars’ two moons.

The Amal spacecraft, nicknamed “Hope” in English, was sent to within 62 miles of the moon as part of the Emirates Mars Mission (EMM).

NASA has just released a new interactive feature that lets you explore the surface of Mars. The exploration tool uses a complex mosaic of images from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) and took 6 years to create.

The mosaic is composed of 110,000 images from the Orbiter. The photos were taken by the black and white Context Camera, or CTX, and cover nearly 270 square feet (25 square meters) of surface per pixel.

The joke about water on Mars has been on the internet longer than I have. But all joke aside, astronomers have been searching for traces of water on the Red Planet ever since I can remember.

Earlier this week, researchers from the SETI Institute and the Mars Institute revealed a “relict glacier” they discovered on Mars. It suggests that surface water ice on Mars may have existed more recently than it was previously thought.

Scientists at the University of Arizona have recently shared photos of unusual circular dunes on Mars. While sand dunes aren’t an unordinary occurrence, those that look like almost perfect circles certainly are something you don’t see every day.

After over a decade of exploration, NASA’s Curiosity rover has captured sun rays on Mars for the very first time. In a gorgeous image released a few days ago, we can see the so-called crepuscular rays shining through clouds in the sunset.

While sunsets can be seen from Mars, and they’re quite moody, this was the first time sun rays have been so clearly viewed on the Red Planet. And they create a scene that’s way more similar to a sunset here on Earth when we have some clouds in the sky.

NASA’s Curiosity rover has been especially curious recently, sending back photos that absolutely rock! Yes, that’s right, the Mars rover has found some interesting rocks and has been snapping away. The latest of these is a multiple photo composite of a meteorite dubbed “cacao”, named after the main ingredient for chocolate, naturally.

The meteorite is a metal mix of iron and nickel and was spotted by the rover at the end of January. It’s estimated to be around a foot across in size and is one of several such meteorites that Curiosity has discovered on the planet.

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines pareidolia as “the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern.” Dictionaries fail to mention, though, that this is the reason why we see many ordinary objects and images as way more fun than they are.

NASA’s Reconnaissance Orbiter recently snapped a photo of the Martian surface that looks like a face of a teddy bear. At least that’s how we humans see it, but what is it exactly?

Winter has arrived here on the Earth’s Northern hemisphere, and some of you were lucky enough to have a white Christmas. But did you know that winter is also happening on Mars? With temperatures as low as -120° C, how can it not?

NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter recently captured stunning photos of snowy dunes on the Red Planet, giving us a glimpse of what winter looks like on our neighboring planet. They are not only visually striking, but they also provide valuable information about the Martian climate.

It’s not common anymore that I come across photos on Instagram, especially those that stop me in my tracks. But when it happens – oh boy do I get amazed! One of the people who always blows my mind with his images is Andrew McCarthy, and it happened the other day with his latest image of Mars and the Moon.

The celestial objects were perfectly lined for a shot that looks like it was taken from the Moon. Of course, we can’t go there (yet), and Andrew didn’t even leave his backyard for this image. He told DIYP a bit more about how he took it and shared the magnificent photos with our readers so we can all admire it together.

HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) is the most powerful camera ever sent to another planet. So, not surprisingly, it has shot some of the most stunning images of Mars we’ve ever seen. Scientists have recently shared a HiRISE image of a crater on the Red Planet. Thanks to Seán Doran, we get to see it in color, 8K resolution, and explore nearly every little detail of it.
