NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander snapped this true 3D image of a trench it scraped. Grab those 3D glasses and get ready for red-and-blue splendor.
Known informally as the “La Mancha” trench, the nearly 2-inch (5-cm) depression reveals an ice layer beneath the Martian surface. Phoenix uncovered the first solid evidence of ice water on Mars, although previous probes had detected suspected quantities of such subsurface ice.

Earth and Jupiter Captured In the Same Photograph Taken From Mars
This is a photo of the Earth and its moon and Jupiter and its moons. In the same frame. It’s taken from Mars, and it’s humbling and incredible.
