Planet Mars Texture Maps - High Resolution
WEBI have been able to obtain very high resolution MOLA (Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter) MEDGRs (Mission Experiment Gridded Data Records) — gotta love those NASA acronymns — and I have used those to create a new set of Mars maps. The older maps are also still available for those who would prefer them.

WEBJun 22, 2023 · MAVEN’s Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) instrument obtained these global views of Mars in 2022 and 2023 when the planet was near opposite ends of its elliptical orbit. The IUVS instrument measures wavelengths between 110 and 340 nanometers, outside the visible spectrum.
NASA’s MAVEN Mission Gives Unprecedented Ultraviolet View of Mars
WEBOct 17, 2016 · New global images of Mars from the MAVEN mission show the ultraviolet glow from the Martian atmosphere in unprecedented detail, revealing dynamic, previously invisible behavior. They include the first images of “nightglow” that can be used to show how winds circulate at high altitudes.

A Sharpened Ultraviolet View of Mars - NASA Science
WEBOct 3, 2016 · The ultraviolet (UV) view gives several new perspectives on Mars. Valles Marineris, a two-thousand-mile canyon system, appears prominently across the middle of the image as a blue gash. The deep canyon appears blue due to the scattering of ultraviolet light by the atmosphere, so strong that we cannot make out the bottom of the canyon.
APOD: 2023 June 27 - MAVEN's Ultraviolet Mars
WEBExplanation: These two global views of Mars were captured at ultraviolet wavelengths, beyond the spectrum visible to human eyes. Recorded by the MAVEN spacecraft's Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph instrument in July 2022 (left) and January 2023, three otherwise invisible ultraviolet bands are mapped into red, green, and blue colors.
