As promised in another thread... I thought all the images from Surveyor, Apollo etc. needed another place to go than the Mars Forum.
I will start the thing off with a link, not an image. I occasionally have images in Chuck Wood's Lunar Picture of the Day (LPOD) website, www.lpod.org. This URL: http://www.lpod.org/LPOD-2005-05-25.htm is my latest, a Clementine LWIR mosaic. The text accompanying the image explains how I made it. LWIR images from the PDS look useless but they can be made into very nice image strips. In most areas of the Moon they are the highest resolution images available, since the HIRES camera only functioned well over near-polar latitudes. So image junkies who want to see new scenery emerge from their computers can go wild! Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Cool images, Peter. Mariner 10 really did have an incredible imaging system. It was the first planetary spacecraft with a vidicon system that used a blast of light to get rid of after-images (Viking and Voyager also did this), which makes the image quality much better.
I will say that the Kayuga images we have seen from the science cameras have been quite sharp - we should see more in the future, since Kayuga began its official science mission in the last few days. The images we have been seeing are mostly from the engineering cameras and the HDTV camera, which is there for PR purposes. -------------------- |
