3D Images Of Valles Marineris

Posted by timothy on from the night-sky dept.

EccentricAnomaly writes: "Adrian Lark and Olivier de Goursac have made some spectacular 3D renderings of the Valles Marineris of Mars from Mars Global Surveyor data. That site is in French, but space.com has a write-up in English. Some of the images are from the bottom of Melas Chasma, which is a possible landing site for the MER rovers in 2003. Adrian Lark has software that you can use to generate your own images with data from MGS's MOLA instrument."

    That's right! Santa has you on the naughty list! And the only way to get yourself on the "NICE" list, is to spread a little Christmas cheer by passing on some of these wonderful Christmas toons to your friends and family!

    It absolutely must have involved a mac. They do everything better, dont you know? Why, they probably use them for all serious number crunching as they are SUPERcomputers, unlike your crappy PCs and Linux boxen, whatever those are. I'm sure an iPod was involved too, and FIREWIRE was probably used as well. Steve Jobs is THE MAN. Totally.
