Photo Gallery: Mars Express First Image
Written by Fraser Cain
Here's a 1024×768 resolution wallpaper of the amazing first photograph of Mars taken by the European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft. The stereoscopic image was taken on January 14, 2004 by Mars Express when it was 275 kilometres above the Valles Marineris - a 1700 km long by 65 km wide canyon that runs across the surface of Mars.
