USGS: It is easier than ever to view Mars landscapes in high resolution

USGS: It is easier than ever to view Mars landscapes in high resolution. “There is a huge difference between looking at a photo of the Grand Canyon and seeing it in person. If you want to look at another planet’s landscape, seeing it in person is not an option. That’s why a team at the U.S. Geological Survey used supercomputers and cloud computing to process and release a treasure trove of ready-to-use Mars data: more than 4,800 digital terrain models, known as DTMs, and more than 155,000 ultra-high-resolution images of the surface of the planet.”
