NASA HAS JUST RELEASED 2,540 STUNNING NEW PHOTOS OF MARS

If it's quiet solitude and beauty you seek, there is no better place than the surface of Mars. Mars has earned its moniker as the red planet, but the HiRISE camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) can transform the subtle differences of soils into a rainbow of colours.

For 10 years, HiRISE has recorded gorgeous - and scientifically valuable - images of Mars. Its photos are so detailed that scientists can examine the planet's features at the scale of just a few feet, including the recent crash site of Europe's Schiaparelli Mars lander.

We combed through 2,054 of the camera's latest pictures, released in August, September, and October, to bring you some of the best - and hopefully help you temporarily escape Earth.

A large chasm:

Some dark, rust-colored dunes in Russell Crater:

NASA might land its next nuclear-powered Mars 2020 rover mission here.

The dark splotch is the place the European Space Agency's Schiaparelli Mars lander smashed. The white spots, brought up with bolts, are bits of the lander.

Zebra skin. Just kidding, this is a dune field that's speckled with oval-shaped mineral deposits:

A conceivable landing site for the ExoMars 2020 mission, which the European Space Agency is running.

Layers in Martian buttes found in a region called West Arabia:

Spiders' are eruptions of dust caused by the way the Martian surface warms and cools:

NASA keeps an eye of chasms like this for little avalanches - and any water that melts in the warm sun to frame make-shaded mud.

Ceraunius Fossae is a region dominated by volcanic flows and large cracks:

The production of 'fans' around ridges may enable researchers to comprehend occasional changes on Mars:

False hues allocated to specific minerals make Syria Planum an inky blue that is spotted with gold:

A small but recent impact crater:

Edges cross the Nepenthes Mensae area, which is regularly alluded to as a stream delta for the striking pattern.
