hey! did you know that the mars reconnaissance orbiter, a nasa spacecraft in orbit around mars since 2006, has imaged nearly the entire planet's surface at a resolution of 6 meters per pixel?
did you also know that scientists have put all that data into the form of a 3D globe that can be explored for free in your browser?
it's the coolest fucking thing and i've spent hours and hours just getting lost in it

It wrinkles my brain that Jupiter’s moon Europa has oceans that are sixty miles deep, while Earth’s oceans only reach seven miles deep at most. I’m willing to bet good money that there’s life in Europa’s oceans. Like five bucks. You hear me, NASA? I bet you five bucks that there’s life on Europa… Now that there’s money and reputation on the line, I bet they send a mission there real quick.
