2 NEW epic images of Phobos over Mars just released by ESA Mars Express

This view is especially striking, with Phobos between the Tharsis volcanoes and Noctis Labyrinthus鈥揤alles Marineris

Full resolution 300MP(!) & info on: https://flic.kr/p/2rMW4so

A wide view of the planet Mars fills the frame, shown as a curved, rust-colored world against black space. The bottom edge fades into darkness, marking the planet鈥檚 night side, while the upper portion is brightly lit by sunlight. Near the right side are three large, round volcanic mountains of the Tharsis region, each with a wide circular base and a darker central caldera, resembling shallow craters pressed into the surface. North of these volcanoes, stretching almost vertically across the upper right half of the planet, lies Noctis Labyrinthus and Valles Marineris: an immense system of deep canyons and fractured terrain that appears as pale, branching scars and cracks, partly softened by hazy, cloud-like atmospheric features. Near the center of the image, positioned between the volcanoes and the canyon system, a small dark oval appears against Mars鈥檚 surface. This is Phobos, one of Mars鈥檚 satellites. Its tiny size stands out sharply against the vast scale of the planet below.
