| Scientist's Looking For Help In Analyzing Mars Images For Spacecraft
HI Folks,
Apparently NASA is looking for help from the public to analyze high resolution images, in the hopes that someone can find the Mars Polar Lander that failed to make contact after landing.
Although there are only 18 images they are quite huge, each of them is enormous – typically 1.6 billion pixels.
"If your computer screen is 1000 by 1000, that means you need 1600 screenshots to view one image
Here is the link to the site, Sounds very interesting if you have spare time. Volunteers asked to help find dead spacecraft on Mars - space - 12 May 2008 - New Scientist Space
