Re: MER Images - Where To Find Them - Pass on your recommendations...
With so many new members joining, and so many amazing pictures appearing on websites scattered all over the net, I thought it might be a good time to start listing and recommending the ones we all use for our regular "fixes" of new pictures from Mars...
Here are my recommendations...
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/mer2004]http:// … ov/mer2004
The official JPL website, updated "regularly"...
http://origin.mars5.jpl.nasa.gov/galler … unity.html
"Raw" images here, including all the pictures of sundials you could ever want (only joking! 
) This link is to the Opportunity page, but a menu on the left lets you see Spirit's, too...
http://qt.exploratorium.edu/photopost/i … /index.php
The famous "Exploratorium" website, featuring soooo many pictures, updated daily (almost).
http://www.marsunearthed.com/OMIndex/Ma … sIndex.htm
In my opinion, the best site for 3D MER images. Have those red and blue glasses handy... updated regularly, too.

Excellent non-JPL images on these three sites...

Another Mars forum, check out the images posted by Doug Ellinson especially, they're beautiful.
http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/viewf … ...e8a3741
The "Martian Chronicles" forum on the excellent BAD ASTRONOMY Website. Look out for images posted by members which are easily as good as many you'll see on JPL sites...
http://art.brownpau.com/wiggle]http://a … com/wiggle
An amazing selection of the "jiggly" 3D images which are becoming popular online now...
Think that's it for now. I hope others will post their selections and recommendations, too.

Take a look at how Martians see our planet!

For MER panoramas (lots of anaglyphs, but also some plain vanilla ones too), there's the http://www.hazyhills.com/mars3d/]Hazy Hills site, which has a unique way of presenting its images.
