Clearest ever images from the surface of Mars are released

Mars has always been a source of fascination to us humans, it's the closest planet to our Pale Blue Dot, after all! However, until now, we've never had a truly clear look at the Red Planet.

But this is no longer the case thanks to ElderFox Documentaries, who used footage belonging to NASA to cut together 20 mosaics, including "largest-ever put together" of the Mars' surface.

Now, thanks to the technological abilities of ElderFox Documentaries, you can take a truly clear journey across Mars and marvel in its sandy glory...

Watch the clearest footage of Mars' surface you'll ever see below:

Since being uploaded to the ElderFox YouTube channel on July 17, the incredible footage has garnered over 2.7 million views and counting and it's easy to see why.

The video's narrator says: "The images in this video are all real. They were captured by Nasa's Mars rovers directly from the surface of the planet.

"This is the first time Martian footage has been rendered in stunning 4K resolution."

Reacting to the footage, one Twitter user wrote: "MARS pictures rendered in 4K resolution. These are Amazing."

Meanwhile, a third wrote: "After watching this incredibly clear Mars video, I vote that we quit our quest to live on Mars and put our focus to live on Earth."

The incredible footage was captured by three Mars rovers: Spirit, Curiosity, and Opportunity. However, the only one of these Nasa-operated machines still in operation today is Curiosity.

The footage captured by each of these machines is available to view for free on NASA's website and the video above was created using this footage.

This was done through the stitching together of images to create panoramas, which when panned across, look like a video.

The video's narrator calls it "the most lifelike experience of being on Mars" and we have to agree.
