University of Arizona researchers added a whopping 1.7 terabytes of images to a NASA collection
Knowing that a portion of you read my ramblings and news posts about space, this blog is for you! Anyone with a computer and Internet access now has the ability to view 1,200 images -- around 1.7 terabytes -- taken by the High Resolution Imaging Experiment (HiRISE), an extremely powerful camera that snaps amazing pictures of Mars.
The camera continues to work its magic aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
The University of Arizona research team behind the HiRISE camera added the large amount of images to the Mars to the NASA Planetary Data System.
To visit the web site with images taken by the HiRISE camera, head over to this web site. The web site utilizes search tools that make browsing through the images easy.
With so many space programs aiming research towards Mars, I can't wait to see what we come up with in the next 20 years -- regardless of which nation gets the information.
"Intel is investing heavily (think gazillions of dollars and bazillions of engineering man hours) in resources to create an Intel host controllers spec in order to speed time to market of the USB 3.0 technology." -- Intel blogger Nick Knupffer
