Because Emily is far, far too modest to plug this amazing work here herself, I'll do it! smile.gif You really have to check out the Planetary Society blog and see what she's done with some old Viking data - she's waved a magic wand over it and created what I think is a staggeringly beautiful image of Mars as a crescent. Go take a look at it now, but make sure you look at the enlarged image with a pillow or cushion at your feet because your jaw will plummet towards the floor when you see what she's done... ohmy.gif smile.gif
