NASA just released 1,035 new images of Mars — here are some of my favorites
In February 1917, Albert Einstein wrote in a letter:
It is a pity that we do not live on Mars and just observe man’s nasty antics by telescope.
Well, things now have changed. Here are some of my favorite images coming from NASA/JPL/University, part of HIRISHE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment).

These are great. No matter how many I see, images of other worlds never cease to amaze me.
Amazing photos, thanks
Amazing!
Such painting like textures.
The patterns on the surface of Mars is absolutely unreal as in its breathe taking. I can't even imagine what other planets would look like. I believe we will one day inhabit mars. I vote for Matt Damon. :D (I watched the movie with Matt Damon living in mars...)
Awesome.. I wish one day we can travel to Mars with friends or family, same like we go on the beach..
