Exploring Mars in Unprecedented Detail: A 5.7 Terapixel Landscape.

TL;DR Summary
Caltech's Bruce Murray Laboratory for Planetary Visualization has unveiled a 5.7 terapixel online image of Mars, offering a 20-fold increase in resolution for a detailed view of the planet's surface. The image was created by merging 110,000 individual images taken by the Context Camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, covering 99.5% of Mars' surface. Users can access the image through an interactive interface called SceneView, enabling seamless exploration of the Martian surface. The mosaic represents a 20-fold increase in resolution compared to the previous highest-resolution global image of Mars.
