Images Wanted! Options

I will give a presentation about (on Mars would be great, too ) on 11 August at the public observatory in my home town. The last two years, since I last gave such a talk, have been so exciting that I thought it might be time to show people what has happened on Mars during that time. And I would like to show them some truely stunning pics to further enhance the public's interest in Mars research

So, which, in your opinion, are the most breathtaking/interesting images/achievements of the last two years (for aesthetic and scientific reasons, not only MER, but also of the various orbiters)?

It would be phantastic if you could help me to generate some kind of a link collection, to make easier accessible all the beautiful images which are around in the web and especially in this forum. So many of them are now hidden in the huge amount of posts here . Can you help me dig them out?

For official pictures about MER is that the link I think (over the intervening year(s) a lot of pics ): http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/mer/images.cfm

Yes, thanks . Besides all the official images and web sites I would be very much interested in all the "unofficial" images produced by people here in the forum, which quite often have a higher quality than the official ones

That would certainly be great . I've got 100 Mbit access at work, so I should hopefully be able to download them within a reasonable time. Just send me a message where I can get them.

Tman and Nico: thanks for the links.

Hi Michael, "100 Mbit access" does that mean you be able to download 12,5 Mbyte per second? Is that normal at work today?

I work at university where we have that kind of access since last year. And it's probably quite normal by now for such organisations. But: if the server you download from does not have the same capacity it's no use So you very very rarely get such a download rate in the internet. But it's quite convenient if you want to transfer data between universities
