:P That's a neat article, Ben, thank you! One thing I find interesting is, they did a color correction on the image, then called it "false color to emphasize different materials"....what a laugh! Does no-one question why the "false color" image looks far more natural? Anyway, thanks for the link!

hi Jane, how are you. me, and the wife were thinking the same thing as you. one would think it would be better left alone as it was intended to be that color. the "original" I love it when nasa does things like this, as it makes them look like a cover up if you know what I mean lol. thank you Jane. "god bless"

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
