Equipped with HiRISE - high resolution camera worth 40 million USD with 0.3 megapixel imaging capability, since 2006 MRO has sent to countless beautiful and quality images on Mars surface.
Many pictures taken by HiRISE have been "wrong color" , helping scientists track changes on the surface of the red planet.
Here are the top 10 best photos about this planet sent by MRO to NASA, RT on March 29 posted:
The area is named "Noctis Labyrinthus" on Mars with its steep intersecting valleys resembling labyrinths.
The barren land eroded at Aram Chaos, a large crater near the equator Mars.
"Reverse hole" in Arabia Terra region of Mars with a diameter of about 250m.
One of the first dunes discovered on Mars by scientists found at the Proctor crater.
The diverse clay deposits in Nili Fossae region are one of the most attractive areas for Mars researchers because they provide conditions that allow the preservation of organic matter.
A giant sand dune shaped like a snake in the Hellas impact basin on Mars.This sand dune is formed by the wind blowing in the same direction for a long time.
A new crater is seen on the surface of Mars with colored dust rising when impacted.
Curiosity self-propelled robot (dark small dots in the lower quadrant, left) moves to leave traces like "rails" on the surface of Mars.
An overhead dust storm in Mars's Amazonia Planitia was taken from orbit by the MRO in late spring.
Dust clouds leave strange traces on the sand surface of the red planet.
