NEW DELHI, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- India's Mars Orbiter Mission began orbiting the Red Planet only a few days ago, but it has already captured some stunning images of the cold, ferrous sphere. Today, India's space agency released several of those photos, and one of them offers a grand view of the entirety of Mars.
Not only does the bird's-eye shot feature the Martian planet in all its splendid rotundity and redness, it also captures the beginnings of a dust storm, as well as a surface discoloration in the shape of the Indian subcontinent.
