High quality images from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have been posted to the web on the site HiRISE for public viewing. The images take a bit to load, but are worth the wait.

“Onboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the HiRISE camera offers unprecedented image quality, giving us a view of the Red Planet in a way never before seen. It’s the most powerful camera ever to leave Earth’s orbit.

During its mission, HiRISE will collect thousands of images of the Martian surface, covering only one percent of the planet. The camera’s advanced optics allow us to see objects a few meters across.”
