      We have some pictures of Mars from the previous missions that have gone there – landers and rovers that have sent pictures back. And we’ve got other pictures from spacecraft that we’ve sent to orbit around Mars and take pictures, which can be in 3D and show you all the hills and mountains and valleys. So we can put all those together and through the power of technology combine them into some pretty amazing and detailed images!
