Mars As Art

I found a cool link to a collection of real photographs taken by spacecraft during there missions to Mars over the past four decades. 5000 of the hundreds of thousands of pictures made available from NASA and ESA mission archives were nominated by scientists but only 45 were selected to be featured in this exhibition. The 45 were selected by professional photographers, artists, and photo editors. Every successful mission to Mars since Viking is featured in the exhibit. The exhibit was unveiled on July 20, 2006, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Viking Landing. I put one of the images as my background it is rad. http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/Mars_as_art/
