On March 26, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) released new images of Mars sent by the Tianwen 1 probe.
Both pictures were released by the press service of the department.
The spacecraft took pictures at an altitude of 11 thousand kilometers above the surface of the red planet with medium-resolution cameras.
Tianwen 1 is on the unlit side of Mars, and therefore the planet looks like a crescent in both frames.
