Close Encounter with Mars Wall Art Size:40 x 40 VFTS 102 is the mostNASA ESA Hubble Space Telescope took this close up of the red planet Mars when it was just 55, 760, 220 km away. This colour image was assembled from a series of exposures taken between 6: 20 p. m. and 7: 12 p. m. EDT Aug. 26 with Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2.
