HiRISE Hi-Res

Four years in the making, the first hi-resolution image from the HiRISE camera (the most powerful camera ever to orbit another planet) has arrived! It was snapped at 8:45 am (Mountain Time US) and has taken a few hours to make its way from the MRO (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter) to the DSN (Deep Space Network) dishes to JPL (Jet Propulsion Labs) to HiROC (HiRISE Operations Center) and finally to Top Men.

A second image was taken around 1:00 pm. We'll update when it's available.
