The pic down there at the bottom is a very high-res composite, pieced together by a guy named Miloslav Druckmuller from Brno University of Technology in The Czech Republic.
(y'know, if them Euro schmucks are so smart, how come they can't come up with catchy nicknames; like Czech Tech? They prob'ly don't even have a real football team. Just sayin')
Anyway - I dunno what all happens if you click on the image; it might make your monitor explode or something - but give it a try. And while you're gazing at it in wonderment, wonder this too: how come it seems like nobody from the US ever does this kinda thing anymore?
How come we think it's OK to build a coupla thousand M1A1 tanks that sit in mothballs doing nothing; will never be used for much except maybe target practice; and will most likely end up making some politician's brother-in-law quite wealthy 20 years from now when he suddenly discovers his burning passion for the scrap metal business), but we can't send a guy to the Pacific to take a few snapshots of something that's damned close to the most amazing thing our part of the universe has to offer?
