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.

In 1986 I was ten years old and I really started to get interested in space. That year we had the Voyager 2 flyby of Uranus, the Challenger disaster and the Giotto flyby of Halley. A very big year in space. 1986 also saw the "Space 86" exhibition in Utrecht. The Dom tower in Utrecht is pretty much the same height as the Saturn V rocket, so that year there was a 1:1 scale model of the mighty Saturn on display at the Dom tower. Yesterday I was at my dad's place and we hunted down the photo we took of it:
