Advanced Member cakeller Posted November 10, 2009 Author Advanced Member Share Posted November 10, 2009 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Tony Nemo Posted November 10, 2009 Contributor Share Posted November 10, 2009 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_" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Digital777 Posted November 11, 2009 Advanced Member Share Posted November 11, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
