NASA has just release the most detailed satillite images of Earth, ever. fucking amazing pics, the jpegs are OK...i downloaded the 20+ meg tif - you can zoom in close and its still crisp. you have to register to get the really (100+meg)massive files. |

NASAs site is one of the biggest on the net. They have tons of mad images from space. I found a vid on there the other week, it starts with a shot of the earth from space, zooms in, zooms in, keeps zooming, until it is right up close to the 'Hollywood' sign in calafornia. Incredible, but kinda creepy...BOC style baby ;) |

i downloaded the 20+ mb one ... but i want more! take a look at south africa. in the lower half is a white spot. if you zoom it, it looks like a person raising his fist, doesn't it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

|
|
those were cool... they look so detailed that I thought they were fake at first... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can my computer even HANDLE a 400 MB picture file? Seriously, can it? That's HUGE! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ophecks, you'd probably be able to go grab a lunch while you wait for it to load unless you have a shedload of RAM. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HAaaarrrrrr. The 410mb image file is fucking detailleed!!! haaarrrg i almost can sit my ass on France!!!! HAaaaarrrgg i m dying !!!! Reeeuuuhhhh!!!! *krooeek* (Noise of a self wrecked neck) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I only have 64MB of RAM. I'm getting 128 probably next month. Seriously, how long would I expect to wait... I want to see that pic so bad... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Uhm.... 15-20 minutes once it's downloaded maybe? That would be my guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Eh, that's not so bad. First I must concentrate on the mission at hand, downloading those disgustingly huge pics. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes but tiff is perfect... PERFECT quality. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Took 45 minutes for me with a 64k adsl conn. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He's talking about viewing it not downloading it though. And that doesn't seem like too horribly long if it only took 45 minutes. I'm gonna get it soon. |
||||||||

How are you guys getting the really big files. When I try to down;oad them I get a message: "The file you have selected is approximately 245.94 MB. At this time we are providing access to these files on a restricted basis" I've emailed them asking for access. Is that I have to do? Did anyone else get that message? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, that's what you have to do. |
||||||||

Maybe all of us aphexers are overloading them and they think we're a cult hellbent on destroying the earth but we don't have a map of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not yet, but we will... we just need their permission to download a map. Then... DESTRUCTION!!!! |
