Mars

martian landscapes

i thought that first one was somebody's autechre album art tattoo

I can't really understand what I'm looking at for most of them. They look like electron micrographs.

That's it. I'm moving to Mars.

how fucked up would it be if details revealed unmistakable images of jesus on the cross etched into the landscape???

where is the water?

4th year of a degree in Earth and Planetary Sciences (although i'll be only 1 of 2 people at my uni to ever be awarded that degree - mine was the first year they ran the course and it was pulled the year afterwards. wtf)

up until this year it's mainly been geophysics though, which is fairly boring

what is cool about your course is that it have the "planetary" word in it and it is not limited only on Earth stuff. You can dream yourself away

Athabasca Valles - big North Sea-sized volcanism-triggered flooding event, sometime within the last 30 million years, formed all this shit

it's the victoria crater, here's some rover tracks:

I'm too sleep deprived to investigate why these pictures look so crazy so for now I'm just gonna assume NASA has got adobe photoshop PSBoner V666.3311#4

Get your ass to Mars.

Get your ass to Mars.

They're real, but the colours have been tinkered with.

Since 2006, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has been orbiting Mars, currently circling approximately 300 km (187 mi) above the Martian surface. On board the MRO is HiRISE, the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera, which has been photographing the planet for several years now at resolutions as fine as mere inches per pixel. Collected here is a group of images from HiRISE over the past few years, in either false color or grayscale, showing intricate details of landscapes both familiar and alien, from the surface of our neighboring planet, Mars. I invite you to take your time looking through these, imagining the settings - very cold, dry and distant, yet real.

We should send all the gays to mars.

is there a point to false colour imaging?

Gays love it.

i know gays and they, for the most part, told me they didn't know of false colour imaging. and i ignored those that did know of it, educated swine.

I'm so going to Mars Pride 2010.
