What it looks like to orbit Mars

At link, after annoying ad video. But interesting. Very elliptical orbit.


Imagine you’re on a probe hurtling around the Red Planet. The Mars Webcam (VMC camera) on board the European Space Agency's Mars Express captured many images during a full orbit, which have been sequenced to create this video.
