NASA releases its most bizarre photo

of Mars yet



NASA has made a habit of delivering stunning photos of many of the planets in our solar system,
including Saturn, Jupiter and, of course, Mars.

Sometimes the group captures an image that looks so surreal that it almost appears fake,
leaving us in awe while also giving conspiracy theorists plenty to argue about.

A new photo of the red planet’s north pole is one such image and you’re probably going
to want to stare at it for a while.



The photo was captured by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
as it looped around the planet and, as NASA explains,
was originally shot so that scientists could track the changes
to the many sand dunes that dot the surface.

However, after seeing what they captured, NASA decided to show off the photo on its own,
and it sure is neat.

The image, which you can view in full resolution thanks to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
is incredibly detailed.

It shows the cracked, rocky crust of the planet arranged in a tile-like design
with the dusty dunes spilling over it. It’s a fantastic image and NASA
has an idea of how the geological processes of Mars made it all possible.
