BTW its only 8.4 mb,and you don't have to register.



I wish my net connection would allow me to get it,guess I will have to leave it downloading tonight.

Best tool to look into hi-re imagery of Mars. Tnks OP.

Oh wow, neat. You are given a form after clicking download that asks for your name, affiliation, email address, and intended use. For the latter I wrote something along the lines of searching for alien structures on the surface of the planet, lol...

I laugh but I probably will just for kicks, and to pass some time and distract me from my boring life, lol. Just finished downloading. It went pretty fast for me.


EDIT TO ADD:

I just started fiddling with the program about 10 minutes ago, and I want to initially say that this software is not for individuals who simply wish to look at the surface of mars, as is done with pictures of the surface. I could not actually get the program to zoom in on the surface at all, as the blurry pixelation starts a great distance from the surface.

It is possible that I just don't know what I am doing, but I speculate that this is more data-driven software. I suppose if I had read the information on their website before I downloaded I could have learned something, but I failed. So I will read some posts today, and if no one figures out awesome cool features for us noobs, then I am uninstalling the software.

I downloaded some JPG images from HiRISE website but when I try to open with HiView, I got this msg:

UA::HiRISE::Image_Renderer (1.50 2011/11/27 01:35:59)
Failed to load an image from "C:/Users/Ucalien/Documents/NASA HiRISE images/ESP_024590_1475_RED.abrowse.jpg".
An image could not be obtained from the file.

Is anyone having the same problem?

Me.
Windows block this program as unsafe....

I didn't had any problems downloading or using it, although I think IASViewer is better.

I haven't tried to open JPGs with it, only JP2 files.

Edit: it didn't open the JPG file. It also failed to open a TIFF file, but it works with PNG files.

It looks like the downloading of the image data is a little slow, so it takes some time to get the current view from their site.

Using already downloaded JP2 files it works as it should.

This is interesting software. I do have photo of something that looks like a high rise with this giant crater around it. It looks like the dark side of the moon or something. The photo seems to be take from orbit.. it's strange image to say the least, I don't know what it is though moon asteroid or what.
