No commentary yet from NASA, just the image. Check out the detail down the lower right and the crater up the top - and the hill over the horizon! Wonderful!

Admin, in my excitement I forgot not everyone is on broadband :-( Could you modify the title to say "warning: 8MB image". Thanks.

Sorry, forgot not everyone is on broadband. I've asked the Admin to adjust the title. My bad. Here is the thumbnail.

Looks like they lost part of the image -- there's an obvious "seam" mid-picture. That's where the two sheets of wallpaper in the Area 51 hangar come together....

Might want to edit the image out of the "article" altogether and provide a link (if the purpose of this thread is to be a discussion).
People will cache this 8M file to their harddrives but everyone who visits this thread will be downloading it from NASA's website courtesy of this "IMG SRC" (and some may DL it several times if they are clearing cache).
Maybe it's a drop in the bucket but all those NASA downloads use their bandwidth (and also right now there may be many people trying to download this picture).
