Have a look at this absolutely amazing website.  You can get an almost real-time image from outer space that you control.  Navigate left or right and change speed if desired.



In addition to the super high-quality interactive images there is much much more to this unique website.


Every week, THEMIS takes several hundred unique images of the surface of Mars, and you can see them here as they are received by mission scientists.

As you watch, you'll see martian geologic features scroll by. Some will look recognizable, others may be harder to figure out. To see all kinds of martian features imaged by THEMIS, visit the THEMIS by Topic Gallery.

Because THEMIS images are very large and would load slowly, the high-quality images you see here have been reduced in resolution; full-resolution THEMIS images are available through the Gallery and the PDS web site.
