Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Images of the Martian surface were taken at an altitude of about 2,400 miles and took about 16 minutes and 44 seconds to reach Earth, which according to the ESA is the \u201cclosest you can get to a live view from the red planet.
\nThe European Space Agency (ESA) on Friday livestreamed images from Mars in a historical first to celebrate the Mars Express orbiter\u2019s 20th anniversary of when it was first launched.<\/p>\n

The livestream took place on the orbiter\u2019s 24,516 orbit around Mars, sending the images a distance of about 190 millions miles, all the way back to Earth.<\/p>\n

\u201cNormally, we see images from Mars and know that they were taken days before,\u201d said James Godfrey, spacecraft operations manager at ESA\u2019s station in Germany.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to see Mars as it is now \u2014 as close to a martian \u2018now\u2019 as we can possibly get!\u201d<\/p>\n

The livestream experienced some technical difficulties when it began to rain back in Madrid, Spain, where the images were being received. Even then, over a dozen images were able to reach our planet despite the interference. The ESA adds that images are uploaded regularly to their online account.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom these images, we discovered a great deal, including the evolution of a rare elongated cloud formation hovering above one of Mars\u2019 most famous volcanoes \u2013 the 20 km-high Arsia Mons,\u201d said ESA\u2019s Jorge Herna\u0301ndez Bernal, who is tasked with studying the images.<\/p>\n

For those who wonder why the red planet doesn\u2019t look so \u201cred\u201d in its photos, Bernal explains that the livestream is similar to taking a photo with one\u2019s cellphone rather than seeing the planet with the naked eye.<\/p>\n
