Since we're on the subject of website design trends/fads, I'm not fond of the 'load more'- or 'fetch more images'-style of display. After awhile, the browser chokes and dies before all thumbnails, posts, etc. can be viewed. Two examples of this on well-known sites:
https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=ceres%20dawn https://instagram.com/marscuriosity/ I guess I'm old fashioned, but I don't mind having to click 'page 2' to see the next 50 image thumbnails. At least the image display formatting on the Dawn site is still 'old fashioned'. --------- Ok. Back on topic: That modified terrain around the large crater is intriguing. It does look like fresh ejecta, but from where? |
