Today we celebrate 60 years of NASA's exploration of Mars!
#OTD in 1965, NASA's Mariner 4 made history by capturing the first close-up photos of Mars as it flew by. Its 21 grainy images revealed a barren, cratered landscape—forever changing our concept of the Red Planet.
Ten years ago, New Horizons came closer to the surface of Pluto than any spacecraft in history, flying less than 8,000 miles (13,000 km) above the surface.
This enhanced-color image was taken when New Horizons was about 280,000 miles (450,000 km) away.
