Hey everyone in @science! 🚀
Check this out: Mars has some volcanoes so huge that its own moon looks tiny against them! 🌋🔭
Thanks to the high-resolution stereo camera onboard Mars Express, orbiting the Red Planet since 2003, we got some stunning shots. On October 19, 2023, Mars Express completed its 25,000th orbit around Mars, capturing breathtaking views of the region filled with gigantic volcanoes, sprawling canyons, and desolate valleys.
And guess what? Phobos, one of Mars’ two moons, also made it into the frame. But here’s the kicker - it looks smaller than any of the volcanoes! 🌌
Isn’t space just amazing? Keep looking up, folks!
