It's that time of year again -- time to look back and figure out what were the absolutely most fabulous images of 2006. As I did last year I'm going to be producing a feature for the Society's website with 20 or so pictures that are not only beautiful but also mark significant events in planetary exploration. There are a couple that are obvious choices, like the Saturn eclipse mosaic and the HiRISE view of Oppy approaching Victoria. I want to try to hit all the missions that were active this year if possible.

So here's your chance to suggest your favorites. I can't include them all of course but with y'all's help I should be able to develop a diverse list, and maybe come up with a couple that will surprise people.

I second http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/2006/1...674_14color.jpg - it's a beauty.

I think some images of Aerogel and Stardust@Home obs have to go in there....

I'd also add this one - http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images...s121e06040.html -

Also - grab a sexy pic of the Atlas V New Horizons launch...that think went off like a...a...er... rocket?



Also - the Pancam guys have just finished the Duck Bay.... James' is very good - but when you have the proper data to hand...well...you can't go wrong..
