First-ever livestream from Mars

To celebrate the 20th birthday of ESA’s Mars Express on 2 June, and after months of work from engineers and scientists to make it possible, ESA aired the first-ever Mars livestream.

For an hour, it became possible to see the Red Planet in as close to real-time as the speed of light would allow.
