Hi everyone.
I just thought it might be nice to see a set of pictures which meant a lot to each of us. Either artistic, scientific or just one of those heart stopping moments in the MER
year.
I'm sure there could be many great photos to show from the likes of mr ETAL and others wink.gif laugh.gif
Here's the one that gets me every time.

Happy new year and a cool yule to all

I have to agree with dot, that just made my jaw drop. Not just because of the huge dust devil but also because Spirit arrived at the summit just then.

Anyway here is another moment:

There were almost too many Cassini 'Kodak' moments to bear!

It's really going to be difficult to choose a 2005 unmannedspacelight.com image of the year, isn't it? It's been an amazingly succesfull year. I can't choose my favorite...there are so many. biggrin.gif cool.gif

I'd vote for all of the above, and maybe the one I haven't found, yet.

How about the one that made the cover of Aviation Week and APOD? That one was truly THE representative of the best unmannedspaceflight.com has to offer: great subject matter, dramatic view, and international cooperation!

I think the AVWST cover sums up what makes this place special in so many ways.... so it gets my vote for #1!

JPL just put up a Year in Pictures (Requires Flash), and then there's Emily's nice feature as well, if you want more eye candy to choose from.
