Hard to believe that this little planet is billions of miles away, yet we're looking at detailed photos of it.

I love the contrasting terrain. You could imagine that there were rivers there or a sea which made the flat parts or the canyons. Some of the craters looked like they've been weathered.

Hard to believe we've successfully sent a probe 3 billion miles and flown it within a few thousand miles of a planet and it gets a tiny fraction of the news coverage Katie Hopkins gets!

Stunning photo but it isn't real life true colour, they've altered it to show different chemical compositions.

amazing isnt it ,i fully support all this space exploration its very exciting

[Kwacky]

I think they say it's a black and white photo which they've coloured. All the same the detail is something else.

Love that. Amazing thought that. We are such a small part of it all. Such wonders in this world

That link Kwacky posted is an 8000 x 8000 pixel picture and makes a cracking background screen on a 4 k monitor. The detail is incredible
