There are many countries involved in space exploration, one of them is the United Arab Emirates that has the Hope Probe orbiting Mars since February 2021 and have developed this spectacular map of Mars thanks to the images taken by this Probe, specifically it has been developed Abudabi New York University.


It is a map with an unprecedented detail superior to the previous ones, this map intends to serve to understand the Martian climatic phenomena, some of the most significant results to date include new knowledge about the auroras in the night atmosphere of the planet, the storms of dust and also the United Arab Emirates the Probe that they have sent has captured a phenomenon never seen on Mars is a kind of huge Aurora but with the shape of a worm something Quite strange, an Aurora that extends through half of the red planet.

Another interactive map of Mars developed by the scientists of the planetary visualization laboratory of the California Institute of Technology or Caltech, is a global, interactive map, you can travel to different places.


Here we can appreciate the distance that the Rover is, and answer the question, what happens when a Rover breaks down or is full of dust, why doesn't another Rover go to clean the dust, and the reason is that, the distances between them They are from entire continents, they are thousands of kilometers away from each other and the rovers are unfortunately quite slow.

In addition, on this map we can see with enormous resolution from places like the impressive Mount Olympus, to details of cliffs or impact craters, as well as traces of eddies on the surface of the red planet. Around 110,000 images have been used for its creation. black and white captured by the context camera or ctx in English that goes on board the Martian reconnaissance orbiter, this Martian reconnaissance orbiter has been circling the red planet since March 2006.


The images cover almost 25 square meters of surface area per pixel making the mosaic the highest resolution global image of the red planet ever created, the ctx global mosaic of mars has 5.7 trillion pixels or 5.7 terapixel pixels, it is something impressive, I leave the link so you can walk around Mars.
