Using data from the Context Camera aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, planetary researchers have generated an 8-trillion-pixel global map of Mars and performed the first systematic global survey of Martian fluvial (river) ridges. This image shows a suite of fluvial ridges on Mars (at –67.64 °E, 43.37 °S). Image credit: J. Dickson. Mars used to be a wet world, as evidenced by rock records of lakes, rivers, and glaciers. The Martian river ridges were formed between 4 and 3 billion y...

Ideas, Inventions And Innovations Fluvial Mapping of Mars It took fifteen years of imaging and nearly three years of stitching the pieces together to create the largest image ever made, the 8-trillion-pixel mosaic of Mars’ surface. Now, the first study to utilize the image in its entirety provides unprecedented insight into the ancient river systems that once covered the expansive plains in the planet’s southern hemisphere. These three billion-year-old sedimentary rocks, like those in Ea...
