It might be getting smaller in the eyepiece of our scopes but still lots to get excited about on Mars

... and the UAE Hope mission returns its first picture of Mars. A nice piccy. Olympus Mons just visible on the terminator. Interesting times indeed.

At the bottom of the article above, the Chinese mission video has a movie feel to it. Taken with the engineers' inspection camera. A first for an interplanetary mission I believe.
