All week we've been getting some phenomenal high-resolution photos of Mars. Here's an amazing QTVR panorama! Unbelievable, it literally brings tears to my eyes.

Here's another photo taken just six hours later. The way the light changes, you'd guess it was a whole different season!!

The camera rotated 15 degrees to the south before taking this one

And this one, my personal favourite, was achieved by tilting the camera by 11 degrees higher.

But if you think sunset is romantic here on Earth, just wait until you see sunset on Mars!
