Hi,

    Although I'm sure Ron Ballke will be posting
about these, I just want to say that the new full
images just released from the HiRISE camera
on MRO are just incredible:
http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/mro/gallery/calibration/index.html

    The amount of detail is staggering. And
they're probably only a shadow of the detail
we'll see when the orbit is lowered...

    The color perspective view at the top of
the list of images on this webpage:
http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/mro/gallery/calibration/images/Release_01_3d_1x_overview3.jpg
has more of the feel of "being there"
than any spacecraft image I've ever seen.

    Take a look; these are remarkable pictures.
