The stunning image of Mars featured here shows off the Red Planet’s renowned colour from the viewpoint of ESA’s Rosetta mission as it flew past on 24 February 2007, en route to Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It is a composite image created by combining near-infrared, green and near-ultraviolet colour information obtained by the OSIRIS Narrow Angle Camera. The polar ice cap at the south pole is particularly bright, and wispy clouds are seen most clearly around the planet’s curved horizons.
