It has been a long time since I have posted here, so hello again...
Over New Year, I was talking to some friends about the delights of viewing images downloaded from Cassini and the rovers and MGS (etc, etc). I was asked to provide some links so that people could have a look at what I talking about. I'd like to make a gentle introduction to the delights of the imagery, rather that throwing people in the deep end by going straight to the raw image downloads, so... Can you recommend a good starting point for images from our robotic friends? Ideally, stunning images that make people go "wow", and want to dig deeper. Thanks in advance... Chris |
