Hope Soars

(Fair Use)

As the UAE’s Al Amal (Hope) craft soars above Mars, it’s been capturing stunning images of the fourth rock from the sun.

Often called the red planet, Mars assumed a golden hue in these latest photos.  From just 15,500 miles away, familiar volcanoes such as Olympus Mons were clearly in view.

The United Arab Emirates’ de facto leader expressed hope that “new discoveries” from this probe “will benefit humanity.”
