NASA's Psyche spacecraft, en route to a metal-rich asteroid, captured rare, high-angle images of Mars during its close gravity-assist flyby. The views — taken as Psyche passed near the planet to gain speed and tilt its trajectory — showed perspectives not often seen by orbiters and landers, adding scientific and public-interest value. The imagery was obtained as part of the planned close approach that reshaped the mission's path toward asteroid Psyche.
