You really have to appreciate the hard work and effort that made these images possible. It is simply amazing that we can land robotic missions on different planets and moons. The images these missions bring back are fascinating and incredible. They also make me realize the value of life, and how much living things add to the beauty of the "landscape" of our own world. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> It seems to be a natural consequence of our points of view to assume that the whole of space is filled with electrons and flying electric ions of all kinds. - Kristian Birkeland </div>
