New Photos Show Water Ice on Mars 😯😯🏝️🏝️
New Photos Show Water Ice on Mars 😯😯🏝️🏝️ The European Space Agency (ESA) has released an eye-opening pair of new photos that show a massive crater of water ice on Mars. The crater measures 51 miles (83km) across and contains a 1.1-mile-thick (1.8km) mound of water ice all year round. The ESA estimates that the crater contains 528 cubic miles (2,200 cubic kilometers) of water ice. The composite photos of Korolev crater were captured by the Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) over a series of orbits around the Red Planet earlier in 2018 (starting at the beginning of April). During each of the orbits, the camera captured a strip of imagery. Five such strips were combined to create the two photos. 👉
