The European Space Agency has delivered the space goods once again, this time showing us an amazing view of Mars from space.

Captured by the Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC), loosely referred to as the Mars Webcam, the series of images are seen from the view vantage point of the ESA's Mars Express from May 25 to May 26.

What makes the video unique is that, unlike many impressive Mars imagery that focuses on close-ups, this latest view takes us on a full orbit ride around the planet, reminding us of what the red planet looks like in comparison to similar views of Earth from space.
