NASA's Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft has snapped its 200,000th image of the red planet since entering orbit in September 1997. This image of a crater in the northern hemisphere marks a milestone for the mission, which has returned nearly four times as many images as Viking 1 and Viking 2 combined.
