The European Space Agency's (ESA) ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, which launched in 2016, just sent back some spectacular images of the Martian surface.

The orbiter is equipped to take images of the Martian surface in glorious 3D.

The picture above might look like some kind of hairy structure, but it's actually a false-colour image of the trails of hundreds or even thousands of dust devils – small Martian tornadoes – in the Terra Sabaea region of Mars.

The image below shows the Columbus Crater on Mars' southern hemisphere — which NASA discovered that sulfate particles contain hydrated minerals.
