Join us as we celebrate a historic milestone in space exploration! NASA’s HiRISE camera, orbiting Mars aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, has snapped its 100,000th photo. This incredible achievement marks nearly 20 years of groundbreaking imagery from the Red Planet. The 100,000th image showcases Syrtis Major, a region featuring windblown dunes located just 50 miles southeast of the Jezero Crater, where the Perseverance rover is currently exploring.
Did you know this image was suggested by a high school student through NASA’s HiWish program? Learn how citizen scientists are contributing to Mars exploration and making the planet more accessible to everyone.
Discover the remarkable capabilities of the HiRISE camera, which can resolve objects as small as three feet on Mars’ surface from hundreds of miles above. Explore how its visible and near-infrared imaging helps scientists study Martian minerals, analyze surface changes, and identify future landing sites.
From marching dune fields to avalanches on steep slopes, HiRISE has revealed the dynamic nature of Mars like never before. Don’t miss this fascinating look at one of NASA’s most successful missions and the stunning images it continues to deliver.
