Incredible footage captures the Martian landscape and atmosphere out of a pitch black sky as the Chinese spacecraft flew past the Red Planet. Launched last July around the same time as a rival US mission, the probe will remain paired in orbit for three months and is expected to touch down on Mars in May.
