Mars, the fourth planet in our Solar system, is a lot more than just rocks and red dust. Over the years, several pictures of the red planet have been clicked which have mesmerised astronomy lovers. Here's a look at some of them.
Recently, footage shared by NASA showed what a solar eclipse would look like on Mars. The footage captured by the NASA rovers Opportunity and Curiosity captured eclipses that are very different from those on Earth.
An image taken by the Curiosity rover from the foothills of Mount Sharp showed the formation of rocks that NASA named gator-back rocks because of how they look.
Another image taken by Curiosity showed a sandy floral-like formation on Mars. According to planetary scientist Abigail Fraeman, these flowers are formed by minerals precipitating from water.
There are cracks on Mars' surface that look like giant spiders. These cracks were photographed in 2009 by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
In 2015, a selfie of Curiosity was taken when the rover was drilling and collecting rock samples for analysis.
