"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.
