tvashtarkatena Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Since 2005 we've had a robot orbiting Saturn taking shots like these, so STFU and enjoy: linky Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted January 19, 2007 Author Posted January 19, 2007 Bump. We need some positive astral vibrations here today, mon. Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Those are nice, though they look Yngve'd I love space, especially the one between my ears Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted January 19, 2007 Author 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
ivan Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 for 5$ i can take magical substances that allow me to see the same things i do applaude the spirit of discovery and exploration these photos represetn though - we do, afterall, need to find new worlds to trash after we've turned this one entirely into wal-marts and McLitter Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted January 19, 2007 Author Posted January 19, 2007 1 down, 173 to go (not counting KBO's, asteroids, comets). Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted January 19, 2007 Author 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
counterfeitfake Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Cool. You guys checked out APOD? Quote
dbconlin Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Holy shit those are cool! Number 3! And 4! for 5$ i can take magical substances that allow me to see the same things What would happen if you took the 'magical substances' and then looked at those photos? Huh? What would you see? Crazy shit... 'Magical substances' are aid, anyway. Quote
ivan Posted January 19, 2007 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
tvashtarkatena Posted January 19, 2007 Author 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
wfinley Posted January 20, 2007 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? Do you know who took them? mmm.... Quote
