"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.

"Explore Mars in Unprecedented Detail with Massive 5.7-Terapixel Image"

Caltech’s Bruce Murray Laboratory for Planetary Visualization has created a 5.7-terapixel global image of Mars, which is freely available to researchers and the public through NASA’s Planetary Data System. The image was created at a scale of five meters per pixel and is comprised of more than 110,000 individual images captured by the Context Camera aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The 5.7 trillion pixel-image covers 99.5 percent of the Martian surface between 88 degrees south and 88 degrees north. The remaining 0.5 percent was either not imaged or available in high enough quality when the mosaic was created.
