First-ever live stream of Mars is set for TOMORROW trends now

The European Space Agency (ESA) is hosting the first-ever live stream of Mars that should reveal never-before-seen stunning details of the Red Planet.

The agency's Mars Express orbiter will share new images every 50 seconds on Friday starting at 11:45 am ET, as it hangs more than 11,000 miles above the Martian surface. 

And the stream will be accessible through the "ESA YouTube channel. 

While the event will be hosted live, it does take up to 22 minutes for data to travel the more than 187 million miles from Mars to Earth.

There are only a few historical examples when humans on Earth have seen live images or video from space, including NASA's DART mission that crashed a probe into a moonlet and the Apollo missions. 

ESA said the live stream honors the 20th-year Mars Express in space.

Mars Express, so called because of the rapid and streamlined development time, represents the European Space Agency's (ESA's) first visit to another planet in the solar system.

The spacecraft, launched in 2003, borrowed technology from ESA's Rosetta and Mars 96 missions.

Since beginning science operations in 2004, the durable orbiter has given scientists an entirely new view of Earth's intriguing neighbor.

It is now helping to answer fundamental questions about the geology, atmosphere, surface environment, history of water and potential for life on Mars.
