NASA just released 1,035 new images of Mars — here are some of my favorites

In February 1917, Albert Einstein wrote in a letter:

It is a pity that we do not live on Mars and just observe man’s nasty antics by telescope.

Well, things now have changed. Here are some of my favorite images coming from NASA/JPL/University, part of HIRISHE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment).
