NASA’s Psyche spacecraft was speeding by the Red Planet on May 15 when it snapped this rare, crescent view of Mars.

Psyche's successful gravity assist also gave mission planners a chance to test the spacecraft’s science instruments, including its imagers, magnetometers, and gamma-ray and neutron spectrometer.
