Villaman,

You have created a monster, thanks for the education.

Ok same image as above area A. This is the eruption site. How do I know it is the eruption site? I look at the change I characteristics of the surface material in conjunction with other areas like B.

B. This is a micro-gully. Similar to crater gullies just on a smaller scale. This just happens to extend from the eruption site.

C. Back was pattern from eruption site. The material that was in the hole had to go somewhere and here it is.

Hope this helps, Darwin

Chiao Darwin!

To present your pic here clilck the box Image below (right to the smileies) when you are in the process of submitting and copy paste your image-link in the appearing pop-up window like this:



Nice image, like wawes. So some wind disturbed the surface of the water before it frozen. Perhaps Mars is in the begining of creation and when the sun will be bigger or warmer Earth will become a desert planet and Mars will be the planet of life.

"The spirit of God walked upon the face of the water and God said: Let there be light!"

I can't reach your previous picture however the explanation made me curious. Perhaps it would be better to resize the images to fit the screen.

Bye,

Villa

Hope for Water on Mars Dims with Sharp New Images

New images obtained by a sharp-eyed Martian satellite reveal that some Red Planet features once thought
to have been carved by flowing water were in fact created by other processes.

Images taken with MRO show many gullies on Mars taht include braided channels, terraces
and other features that are similar to water-carved features on Earth. Credit: Science

The images were taken during the first 100 days of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) mission
and are detailed in a special section of the Sept. 21 issue of the journal Science.

While the results don't confirm or deny the existence of liquid water on Mars' surface, they are no less fascinating,
say the scientists involved. For instance, one team found no evidence that flowing water caused bright deposits
on the planet. Instead, the scientists proposed dry landslides caused the deposits.

Here is a 23,040 x 11,520 pixel, color Super Overlay for Google Earth 4. This is meant as a basemap. If anyone would like to contribute additional data (placemarks, etc.) to this, please let me know.

Source: Mars Digital Image Mosaic at 64 pixels per
degree produced at the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff, Arizona

Also, I have a much higher resolution greyscale Mars overlay (Themis IR 256 ppd, whatever that means). Any interest in that? That one has 3 GB TIFF source image (~92,000 x 46,000 pixels) so wasn't going to process it unless there is interest.

EDIT 5/09 - Deleted attachment since its been superseded by Google Mars built into GE.

3 GB TIFF source image (~92,000 x 46,000 pixels)


We can store with NTFS and Unix only?
I do not know exactly, maybe Superoverlay can make this with 7 Gb of memory.
I am not have this computer.

Near 1.5 Gb we can tile on computer with 4Gb of memory.
It is real fact, not my work. Now i wait exact results of this tests.

If you can crop this then all ok.

Global Mapper can handle 3 GB TIFF files very easily. I just have Global Mapper split the large TIFF files into smaller ones than can then be processed by SuperOverlay.

Matt

Very good. I don't can test this dataset and very interest to results as developer and GIS user.
Maybe Superoverlay can tile 3Gb also?
In documentation about use memory in Net operations i not see exact limits.
Before i see talks about problems with files >2Gb and FAT32 only.

I started workign on the 3 GB version last night. Should finish it up tonight. I split the original image into 18 smaller images and am using SuperOverlay to process the smaller images. I'm using JPGs and looks like the final tile set will be about 750 megs.
