These images, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, are Europe’s highest-resolution pictures so far of the Martian moon Phobos. http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEM21TVJD1E_0.html |

Hungry, just so you know (if you don't already), releases from ESA can be a bit erratic for a whole lot of known and unknown reasons that I definitely don't want to get into for reasons of forum decorum and that have been extensively discussed previously. Gotta wait & hope, is all.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Gotta wait & hope, is all. Oh yes, I'm certainly aware. ESA's public relations has always been a source of agitation for me. I think I've heard perhaps two or three bits of news from Venus Express in it's whole mission. I've seen perhaps two pictures from the mission. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)
