NASA publishes over 1,000 photos of Mars
US space agency NASA has released over 1,000 photos of Mars in its monthly batch of Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter photos. Taken through a camera called HiRISE (High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment), the photos show the red planet's craters, impact sites, dunes, mountains, ice caps and other features. NASA will reportedly use the photos to determine optimal landing sites for future missions.
