Mars Has Many Faces, Including Some That Look Like Earth (Video)
By Tariq Malik, Space.com Managing Editor | June 6, 2017 02:48pm ET
Mars and Earth may seem like two completely different planets, but a closer look can reveal some familiar scenes. Case in point, this NASA video from the prolific Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which showcases some of the more Earthlike views on the Red Planet captured by the long-lived spacecraft.
During its 11 years at Mars, MRO has spotted many Martian features that look like they might be right at home on Earth. They include dust storms and sand dunes, as well as dry lakebeds and more. You can check out some amazing Mars photos by MRO in our gallery here.
NASA showcased those similarities in the short new video, appropriately entitled "The Many Faces of Mars."
