Apart from the full moon or some shots of our planet we already got used to, we rarely get to see the beauty of other planets. This time, here’s a chance to see the red planet in all its splendour, here’s Mars unveiled:
Wonderful! Thank you. The internet delivers such stunning pictures of the universe. It is amazing how rapidly we begin to take that for granted. I am old enough to remember when landing on the moon was an outlandish idea and the appearance of the planets was speculation reserved for fiction writers. These pictures are so otherwordly and yet not really unbelivable. Just a great look at the red planet. Thanks again.
But for me…without life, there is something seriously lacking. Inanimate matter is just the stage for life….and life is the dwelling place of the divine..the true hidden beauty of all
These are mars renderings not photos, they do use actual height data from the MOLA Project. They are not credited. These images should be taken down, unless credit is given to the owner of the images. These mars renderings are created using Terragen, and Terragen 2, the amount of time to generate these images, from getting the height data into terragen, and modifying colors, and other artifacts to match closely to reality is very time consuming, so please enjoy them as you would a painting.

Just in case someone actually thinks those are real… They are not. They are computer generated images, and they are not even modelled on Mars!
Mars does not have liquid water! Mars does not have active volcanoes!
Mars does not even have red sunsets (they are blue).
Nature is often alot more strange and beautiful than what we humans can think up.

Almost none of these are of Mars, you absolute fucking dipshit. Most of them are computer renderings of some invented planets.

Those are stunning pictures. How were they processed? (as opposed to how the news releases we see are processed)

Renderings are nice, but the real thing is not so shabby. visit the NASA gallery at http://marsrovers.nasa.gov/gallery/images.html for the real thing.
