Weekend_Climberz Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Those are nice, though they look Yngve'd I love space, especially the one between my ears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Those are nice, though they look Yngve'd Some were taken with special filters to enhance certain features. The 'blue planet' series and the moon are natural light as your eye would see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvashtarkatena Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 With 'moon base' in the air, and a government that is certainly not going to pony up for it, I can see some corporate involvement: iLandingPod? McMoonBase? CocaCrater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 #3 doesn't even look real didn't see my recent saturn fav - was in national geo lately - really bright, well-defined planent w/ clear shadows of the moons playing out through the rings bet the beauty would get old if you were stuck there for more than a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 #3 doesn't even look real That's what I thought...animation, but it's not. It's a collage of photos taken with various filters to bring out all the details at once. Bizarre...and my personal favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfinley Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 NASA called this one Saturnian Psychedelia. "This psychedelic view of Saturn and its rings is a composite made from images taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera using spectral filters sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 728, 752 and 890 nanometers.'

Tvash...I like you and think your posts are fairly entertaining....but where did you get these photo? Internet? Is so, how does even you know if there are real or fake?
