Going through all the MEX pics in the database mentioned over on the "Phobos" thread is like entering a hidden cave piled up to the ceiling with jewels. It's possble to make great - if low resolution - colour images out of the RGB triplets, like this...
... and this... But some of the plain BW images are just... well... stunning... This one's been sharpened and contrast-tweaked, but I think it's one of the most beautiful Mars images I've ever seen, just because when you look at it you can't help but imagine what it would be like to stand under those wispy clouds and see them teased out across the pink sky above you by the marian winds... But don't take my word for it. Nip over to... ftp://psa.esac.esa.int/pub/mirror/MARS-EX...TED-V2.0/BROWSE ... and have a play for yourself! -------------------- |
