lol at how wrong you are. Do you really think multi million/billion dollar satellites were sent up to take pretty pictures? All of those have a specific scientific purpose - but those are the ones that happen to be aesthetically pleasing. Think of these as dumbed down images for the general population to take in and appreciate.

cool story, bro

I kept hoping to see the Mountains of Madness.

No, as in lacking any useful scientific data/metadata. No vertical or horizontal datum given - no georeferenced 'world' file associated - no projection information given - no legend to represent what the colors stand for - no real explanation as to what the picture deals, outside of the obvious.

I.E. Dumbed down.

Way to take my post literally.

Is this better?

I would love to be able to get some posters of these, any sites that can print them out at a reasonable price?
