- Support - High resolution image depicting water ice layers in Planum Boreum, located in Mars' north polar region, a subject of deep scientific interest. -- Philip Terry Graham 11:19, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- Support Had this been a aerial photo of some canyon on Earth, I would simply have said that it was a beautiful, abstract of landforms. To be able to get these artistic images of another planet is simply mind-boggling. I suspect this is not just a regular photo, but somehow computer generated/enhanced, who cares, it is beautiful, interesting and intriguing. --cart-Talk 14:30, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - @W.carter: it is a real photograph, taken by HiRISE, with the camera's IRB (infrared) filter. No computer generated magic, all real photographic data. :) Philip Terry Graham (talk) 04:30, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
