With a good telescope on Mars, you can get a beautiful view of the crescent Earth & Moon. This shot was taken by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter from a distance of 142 million km (88 million miles). nasa.gov/mission_pages/MRO/mul… #astronomy #science #wonder
The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera would make a great backyard telescope for viewing Mars, and we can also use it at Mars to view other planets. This is an image of Earth and the moon, acquired on October 3, 2007, by the HiRISE camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
