Mars Express

Random ChaosRandom Chaos Actually Carefully-selected Order in disguise
Well...we keep hearing about the Mars Rovers but seem to ignore the Mars Express arround here :)

So I thought I would fix this! :D

These photos of mars are incredible!

    Thanks for the links! :) I never hear much about opportunity either.

    There was a cool 360 revolving shot, think it was on the bbc web but I can't find it now. Does anyone here have the link at all. Thought I'd saved it.

    :)

    Well...here are more images for Mars Express:

    As for MartianDust's question, take a look at Biggles' links. There is a spectactular 180 degree 3d (red-blue) image. There is a 90 degree full color panarama. They have taken the entire 360 degree of pictures, but only 90 degrees has been downloaded and released (I am sure more has been downloaded today, but they didn't release it yet).
  • I'll check them tomorrow...

    to bad there isn't more green on mars...so depressing being all red...

    Biggles thanks for the links! Lots and lots of pages with info, pictures and links. Wow! Will take me awhile to look at them all. :)
    Still not found that one though. It was one where you put your cursor on it and it moves, plus there was a zoom thing where you could zoom in at the rocks while moving. It wasn't animated but real photos which I guess they put together to make one image - a complete circle. From start to start again. 360 degrees. :)
    I would've thought bbc would've kept it somewhere on their site.
    Perhaps I'll email.

    Random Chaos will check your link tomorrow.

    Lol @ A2597

    Sounds to me like a java applet that took the hires panorama shot, scaled it down to fit part of it in your window, and let you scroll around it (with zooming done by unresizing the image back to hires).
  • MartianDust...

    What I'd do? :D :) ;)
  • Random ChaosRandom Chaos Actually Carefully-selected Order in disguise
    Or it could be Quicktime VR

    Which is something I have wanted to find of Mars once they get their final 360 degree view done :)
  • Whow...neato...

    BTW is there any images from Beagle 2's calculated landing site? Or news about it.

    If landing site has been found then they can at least tell did beagle 2 manage to land but isn't able to transmit information of it.
    (those "air-bags" used in landing are big enough that they would show in hi-res images)
  • Shoot, their big enough I should be able to make them out from here! :D

    I really don't remember which it was. Probably java. Prolly won't help but I might email BBC on their website cos I really can't believe its not there somewhere or why they'd scrap it so soon. Was only a wk ago I think. Just wish I'd saved it. Maybe it did save automatic?! If so where would my PC put it? Am terrible at this kind of stuff lol. :)

    You don't really need it. Just download the hires panorama from NASA and scroll around that. :)
