http://www.itwire.com – The planet Mars has been photographed based on ideas made from people just like Mr. James Secosky. The HiRISE camera onboard the NASA MRO took the public-generated images, suggested under the program HiWish, as the spacecraft circles the planet. Maybe you can have one of your images highlighted, too?   (IT news)
