"Record-breaking 5.7 Terapixel Image Reveals Stunning Details of Mars"
TL;DR Summary
Scientists at Caltech's Bruce Murray Laboratory for Planetary Visualization have created a 5.7 terapixel global image of Mars, which is freely available to the public. The image was generated by merging 110,000 individual images taken by the Context Camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and covers 99.5% of the planet's surface. The image took six years and tens of thousands of hours of labor to build and is a 20-fold increase in resolution compared to the previous highest resolution global image of Mars. The image can be viewed on an interactive interface called SceneView developed by Esri.
