Mars volcano twice as big as Earth’s tallest one seen poking through clouds

NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter captured a stunning image of Arsia Mons, a 12-mile-high volcano on Mars, poking through dawn clouds—marking the first time such a view has been seen from the Martian horizon.

Taken on May 2, the photo highlights water ice clouds around the Tharsis Mountains during Mars’ aphelion.

The image helps scientists study seasonal atmospheric changes.
Odyssey, launched in 2001, is the longest-operating spacecraft orbiting another planet, CBS News has reported.

Meanwhile, the Perseverance rover continues exploring Jezero Crater for signs of past life.
