HiRISE, or High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment, might
just be the coolest thing in the world. Costing $40 million, the Universtiy of
Arizona directed the building of this massive camera that takes amazing photos
of mars. In March of 2006, HiRISE took its first photos of mars in Martian
orbit. Essentially, this camera was able to produce the most detailed images of
mars that have ever been seen; creating huge advancements for NASA and the potential
to gather so much more information about the red planet.
I was checking out the website and found the most amazing
images of RSL, or recurring slope lineae, from all different craters and ridges
all around mars. The color is enhanced on all the images to show the details in
the terrain. Each photo looks almost like a zoomed in image of a thick, textured,
acrylic painting. (Inspo!)
