Some INCREDIBLE images of the surface of Mars. GREAT High res, ultra sharp images of surface features of Mars. A textural feast!

Sorry, I tried two times, and once it worked, and another time it didn't. I have NO idea why. :) Sorry if it was something I did.

Maybe it's an IE 8 problem. I only get: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

What you can try:

Diagnose Connection Problems

you know what, I think it may be the Boston Globe's web site? I tested earlier, and it was fine. I checked after you commented, and at first it didn't load, then it loaded fine without changing the link.

Then I changed the link, so the text was shorter (so it didn't do the blahblahblah....lah.html thing to the link. It still seems fine. Let me know if you still have trouble. I'll try and post a link to the NASA site directly (if that's possible)

The photos are mind boggleing. I was able to view them at this address: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/11/martian_landscapes.html

I see that the forum software truncates the address. The absent portion reads "m/bigpicture/2009/11/martian_"

I KNOW right?!! Some of them look practically edible!

Wow these are amazing, they seem computer made rather than photographs but the space cameras are much different so it could be just down to the fact that it's an amazing quality one. The surfaces are different also and really interesting forms, either way if it's photo or made from data in 3d etc these are really cool. I notice there is a google mars now also, thanks for the link :)

Edit -

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

Seems it's real photos just ultra high resolution with false colors :D
