The level of detail in the image of Phobos taken by China's Tianwen-1 spaceship is amazing.
The shot of the natural satellite is so detailed that you can see individual craters on its surface.
Two years ago, the Tianwen-1 satellite was launched along with a lander and rover, and entered the red planet. The rover is currently in a state of sleep due to the winter on the Red Planet.
The larger of Mars' two moons, Phobos, is just 3,700 miles from the planet and takes eight hours to circle it.
Medium-resolution images of the entire Red Planet were taken by the Tianwen-1 mission last month. According to CNN, despite having finished its mission, the orbiter will still be preparing for future scientific endeavors.
In December, the man who crawled the surface of Mars is expected to return to action.
The China's first Mars mission has been a resounding success, and we can't wait to see what the next mission will bring.
China sent back images of a Martian satellite.
There are new photos from the surface of Mars.
