C'era una volta Google Earth
Google, in questi giorni, mostra orgoglioso il suo ultimo logo, dedicato a Marte.
Inutile nascondere la meraviglia e lo stupore ed il divertimento nell' usare Google Mars
....Grazie!
da About Google MarsThe Mars maps reveal three different types of data:
Elevation - A shaded relief map, generated with data from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter on NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft. This map is color-coded by altitude, so you can use the color key at the lower left to estimate elevations.
Visible - A mosaic of images taken by the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) on NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft. MOC is like the digital camera you have at home. Basically, this is what your eyes would see if you were in orbit around Mars.
Infrared - A mosaic of infrared images taken by the Thermal Emission Imaging System on NASA’s Mars Odyssey spacecraft. Warmer areas appear brighter, and colder areas are darker. Clouds and dust in the atmosphere are transparent in the infrared, making this the sharpest global map of Mars that’s ever been made.
