This one is entitled: "Morning in Coprates Chasma", a view from a rise near the western mouth of Coprates Chasma on Mars looking east. Clear skies to you.

"Morning in Coprates Chasma" was done with Vistapro 4.0 and the MOLA digital elevation maps and Mars Atlas images from the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft (bundled in the last version of MARS EXPLORER). Now if you could just stick in a Thunderbolt Starfury flying past, then I would feel like I was in the Babylon 5 universe! Clear skies to you.

Welcome, Greg - nice pictures! I especially like the asteroid star-base/space craft.

Here's my entry:
"Glittering Snow and Stars" - Planets should be very rare in globular star clusters because of their lack of metals and the densely packed stars tend to disrupt forming planetary systems, but that does not prevent "close encounters" between far-off worlds and these ancient star clusters. In this scene, a huge globular cluster is passing through the galactic disk on its long orbit around the galaxy. The night sky of a cold, nearby world is filled with a single constellation - the huge star cluster that is silently passing by in the distance.

Very interesting images, everybody.
Yestarday I was enjoying a beautiful and peaceful sunset. Everything was so calm. Suddenly I looked up and ... I saw a giant black hole was about to consume our sun. Looks like the sun got away safely.

Here are a series of stills from one of my extended animations of flights over and through the topography of Mars. The first is the start of the flight from a point high above the eastern end of the long canyon Candor Chasma looking west in the late afternoon. The surface scale has been exagerated by 3x to make small-scale features somewhat easier to see.

Here is the second, where the viewer is flying close to the bottom of Candor Chasma not far from its western end. Again, the view is looking west.

Here is the next in the series of animation stills with the viewer flying east in the southwestern portion of Ophir Chasma. The view is looking east with the distant canyon Candor Chasma near the horizon just to the right of the center of the field.

Here is the last image of the animation which is over a point on the eastern edge of Candor Chaos looking over the western sections of Candor Chasma, Candor Mensae, and Ceti Mensae. On the far left near the horizon is the eastern mouth of Ius Chasma where it joins Melas Chasma. The entire animation is over 2900 individual frames and even with the compression scheme used, the AVI file generated is 1.5 GB in size! Still, when you see it run, the result is stunning to say the least. Clear skies to you.
