A beautiful new photo shows off Mars in a dramatic new light.

The European Space Agency's (ESA) ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter just beamed home the amazing new image from April 15.

The photo was taken by the satellite's Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) right after the satellite moved into a new orbit about 400 kilometers above the world's surface. The lighting is what makes it really special.
