Mars global mosaic at 5.0 m/px! My friend Jay has been working on this for years (and the CTX/MRO operations team has been collecting the data for even longer)! Really delighted to poke around in this incredible dataset, open to everyone: https://murray-lab.caltech.edu/CTX/V01/SceneView/intro_c.html #Mars #imaging #planetary #MRO

"HIGHLIGHTS:
• [They] mapped channels and fossae within the volcanic plains east of Olympus Mons.
• Late Amazonian channels east of Olympus Mons formed by eruptions of lava or water.
• Fossae morphologies correspond to episodes of magmatic dike and sill emplacement.
• Loading of Olympus Mons may control magmatic ascent processes and eruption types..."
