A few pictures taken during our #ADASS2025 tutorial on Sunday. Participants actively manipulated HiPS and MOCs on their laptops. A very good start to the ADASS XXXV meeting in Görlitz.
HiPS3D triggered a lot of interest and questions. Try it yourself : aladin.cds.unistra.fr/AladinLite/H...

We just published at @cdsportal.bsky.social a color HiPS for Hubble Space Telescope images, combining 18 individual HiPS.
This data product gives an accurate preview of the HST archive content, spatially and spectrally.

Have you ever wanted to explore Mars into incredible details ?
bochthomas.bsky.social Thomas Boch @bochthomas.bsky.social · Sep 18
While at CDS, the Aladin project mainly deals with deep sky images, we also map planetary surfaces.

We released the HiPS of China's Tianwen-1 MoRIC images, a true-color map of Mars at 76m resolution.

A nice press release. Check the #AladinLite visualization in the web page, comparing the Einstein cross of the background galaxy as seen by ALMA with the HST near-infrared image of the foreground galaxies.

The recently released Euclid Q1 images have been turned into HiPS image surveys, which can be explored with Aladin Desktop or Aladin Lite.
They are also accessible in the HiPS network.
