Red planet: Mars is tantalisingly Earth-like in many respects, but took a different turn when it lost much of its atmosphere early on. Five space probes are currently active in its exploration.

Curious character: A selfie of the rover Curiosity produced shortly after landing. By combining several takes, the editing removed the camera arm from the final mosaic image.

Martian colony: The non-profit company Mars One aims to send the first four settlers to Mars in 2024. Before their arrival, a rover will prepare their accommodation from capsules sent on several previous cargo missions. (Photo: Bryan Versteeg/Mars One.)
