NASA Unveils the Highest Resolution Photo of Mars' Surface

On Wednesday, NASA released its highest-resolution ever photo of Mars, taken by the Curiosity rover. 

The image shows a landscape not unlike a desert canyon on Earth. But in the Mars photograph, features like a three-mile wide impact crater remind you that it’s a completely different planet. 

The composite panorama is the result of more than 1,000 separate images taken around Thanksgiving 2019. The images were taken while the "mission team was out for the Thanksgiving holiday," NASA said in the announcement. 

The image shows Glen Torridon, a part of Mount Sharp that Curiosity is looking into. That image took more than six-and-a-half hours over four days to get the image. To get the lighting right, Curiosity only took photos from noon to 2pm daily.

Omg. It looks just like some rocky terrain here on earth! If only the atmosphere is not toxic. I believe they are yet to see the presence of water as well or am I not updated anymore :enigma:

just imagine the resources we can get there if ever we are able to inhabit in it. The possibilities :sis:

Mars is very intriguing. It looks like where Stupid Love was shot but still it's different. Why does Mars have a similar sky color at points too? How do auroras exist there? Could there be remains of any living beings such as bacteria and such creatures? It's all so interesting.
