"Explore Mars in Unprecedented Detail with New 5.7 Terapixel Map"

Caltech has created the highest-resolution global image of Mars ever, a 5.7 terapixel mosaic, using data from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The mosaic captures cliffsides, impact craters, and dust devil tracks in stunning detail and is accessible to everyone, from scientists to schoolchildren and the general public. The mosaic took six years and tens of thousands of hours to develop and is so detailed that more than 120 peer-reviewed science papers have already cited a beta version. The mosaic is designed to lower the barriers for people who are interested in exploring Mars.
