Today NASA released two virtual flyovers of the Mars rover landing sites using 3D imagery from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The images were made using the most powerful camera ever sent to another planet, MRO's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment. The three dimensional information is obtained by taking pairs of images from slightly different vantage points as the spacecraft orbits the Red Planet. These images can be found here and here. Enjoy.
The full story can be found here at the New Scientist Space Website.
