Photo of the Day: Hope's Newest Glimpse of Mars...

Olympus Mons, our solar system's tallest volcano, is visible in this latest photo of Mars taken by the United Arab Emirates' Hope spacecraft...using its Emirates eXploration Imager.

Just thought I'd share this great image of Mars that was recently taken by the United Arab Emirates' Hope spacecraft. In this snapshot, Olympus Mons—our solar system's tallest volcano—is visible towards the right of the Red Planet. This photo, taken by Hope's Emirates eXploration Imager, was obtained from a distance of 13,007 kilometers (8,084 miles).

Hope should begin official science data-gathering operations in May. Stay tuned!
