Billion-Pixel View of Mars

Billion-Pixel View of Mars Comes From Curiosity Rover, NASA JPL
“A billion-pixel view from the surface of Mars, from NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity, offers armchair explorers a way to examine one part of the Red Planet in great detail.
The first NASA-produced view from the surface of Mars larger than one billion pixels stitches together nearly 900 exposures taken by cameras onboard Curiosity and shows details of the landscape along the rover’s route.”

Marc’s update: It seems folks at JSC can’t access NASA’s own the Billion-Pixel View of Mars web page due to an automated program which has deemed the page “non-job related” viewing and is blocking access to. Now there’s an algorithm that needs updating.

    After pouring over the “raw” images, I can say you would be able to do little public science the resolution available, I zoom in and I expect with the sharpness I see to be able to zoom in more but the last zoom gives you a slightly fuzzy image, and it’s not the fuzzy pixelation that you get when you zoom in on a digital image.
