I'm sure we've all heard by now of the tremendous Indian achievement of placing their MOM craft into Mars orbit.

Anyway the second image has come down and it's a stunner!

Pretty incredible, especially considering that this mission has cost less ($73 million) than the budget for the movie Gravity ($105 million).

My favorite comparison was that the Mars Orbiter Mission cost less than the movie Mission to Mars
