A new MOM image of Mars has been released - see Emily's blog for the link. Here I compare it with the Rosetta flyby image. Lots of small changes to be seen, and much that is the same including the distribution of clouds.
I wanted to add a Hubble view and a Mariner 7 view (incredible changes since Mariner 7) but I don't have time. Towards upper right, a group of dark markings change very substantially. Look below them, there is a bright-toned curving patch on the surface in the Tartarus Montes area. That is where Mariner 4's first image of Mars was taken in 1965.
