I figured this detailed but quite oblique shot of Mars made for quite an interesting desktop image. The High Resolution Stereo Camera on board ESA’s Mars Express obtained these images of the Tyrrhena Terra Impact region on Mars. On the 10th of May 2007, the orbiting spacecraft snapped the pictures of the region located in the south eastern region of the planet. The Sun illuminates the scene from the south-west.
