The European Space Agency’s Mars Express mission has captured new images of a huge crater on the surface of Mars, measuring over 50 miles across and located in the northern lowlands. Although it might look like the crater is full of snow, it is actually full of water ice.
The Mars Express Orbiter has captured images of a huge crater full of ice on the surface of Mars, just in time for the holiday season.
The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express mission was launched back in June 2003 and entered orbit around the red planet in December of the same year. Since then, the probe has been surveying the surface of Mars using a high resolution camera as well as other tools like radars and spectrometers.
