如果你能飛越火星，你會看到什麼？這幅特寫圖片正是以火星快車遠景的形式展示了這一點，它拍攝於七月份火星上一個特別有趣的區域上空。照片中最著名的特徵是奧林匹斯山，它是太陽系中最大的火山，可見於右上方。 右側地平線上還可以看到另一座火星大火山：帕沃尼火山。在這顆紅色星球的表面，可以看到幾個圓形的撞擊坑。令人印象深刻的是，這張照片拍攝的時間正好是火星衛星火衛一（Phobos）的黑夜和末日，就在中間偏左的位置。 左下方的地表特徵被稱為 "Orcus Patera"，因其巨大的體積和長方形的形狀而顯得與眾不同。 歐空局的機器人 "火星快車 "飛船於 2003 年發射升空，在許多著名的科學發現中，它進一步證明了火星曾經是大型水體的家園。
原文：If you could fly over Mars, what might you see? The featured image shows exactly this in the form of a Mars Express vista captured over a particularly interesting region on Mars in July. The picture's most famous feature is Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the Solar System, visible on the upper right. Another large Martian volcano is visible on the right horizon: Pavonis Mons. Several circular impact craters can be seen on the surface of the aptly named red planet. Impressively, this image was timed to capture the dark and doomed Martian moon Phobos, visible just left of center. The surface feature on the lower left, known as Orcus Patera, is unusual for its large size and oblong shape, and mysterious because the processes that created it still remain unknown. ESA's robotic Mars Express spacecraft was launched in 2003 and, among many notable science discoveries, bolstered evidence that Mars was once home to large bodies of water.
