## Caption

Our #HubbleTopImage features the Red Planet! 🔴⁠
⁠
This is a combination of NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope images of Mars taken from 28 to 30 December 2024. At the midpoint of the observations, Mars was approximately 98 million kilometres from Earth.⁠
⁠
Thin water-ice clouds 🌨️ that are apparent in ultraviolet light give the planet a frosty appearance. The icy northern polar cap was experiencing the start of Martian spring.⁠
