A new image from NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter reveals an extraordinary sight: a massive formation breaking through Mars’ early morning cloud cover. Taken just be4 dawn on May 2, 2025, & released by NASA’s Jet Propulsion, lab on June 6, photograph offers an unprecedented view of Martian horizon.
It is the first time a feature of this scale has been seen from orbit rising above the clouds, offering a perspective normally associated with Earth-based spaceflight. The image was captured by rotating the spacecraft 90 degrees in orbit, allowing its camera to observe the edge of the Martian atmosphere instead of the ground below.
