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."
