TL;DR Summary

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Center for Space Science and New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) have created a high-resolution map of Mars using data collected by the Emirates Mars Mission (EMM), also known as Hope or Al-Amal. The map shows the Red Planet's geological features in stunning detail, including polar ice caps, mountains, and remnants of ancient rivers, lakes, and valleys that once overflowed with liquid water. The map could help scientists better understand how Mars became a dry and barren landscape despite once being abundant with liquid water. The map will be made available to the entire planet as part of the new and more advanced Atlas of Mars.
