- doublefelix, on 01/06/2009, -0/+19That is possibly the best detailed, close-up photo of Mars - or any planet, for that matter - I have ever seen. How come all the other released photo's from the Orbiter look like they were taken from Google Mars by comparison?
- tavallai, on 01/06/2009, -0/+14I bet it offers a 'peek,' too!
- bixby1, on 01/06/2009, -0/+9Looks like earth in a way.

- FredFredrickson, on 01/06/2009, -0/+7The word is "peek," unless you were trying to make some sort of pun.
Honestly, are people so uneducated that every Digg submission containing a homonym should be butchered beyond repair? - garryw, on 01/06/2009, -0/+5I would trade all this for a single bacteria found on mars, live or dead, it would open up much better funding
- JenniferInMO, on 01/06/2009, -1/+6Check out the "postcards" link on the left side. Phenomenal photos there.
- inactive, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4BURIED FOR PEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Dumbledorito, on 01/06/2009, -0/+4Mars REALLY hates it when everyone compares him to his sister.
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -0/+4I wish they would show some high res pictures of those pyramids they spotted on Mars
- cperry, on 01/06/2009, -0/+3Fascinating!
- doublefelix, on 01/07/2009, -0/+3Thanks nolimits! I hope this means we'll be seeing a lot more of these great shots of Mars.

- mrseptic, on 01/06/2009, -0/+3You can't play grammar police if you spell "unnecessary" wrong.
- Linake, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2You might have clicked on the wrong link. I'm not having a problem viewing the photos by clicking on the thumbnail below the larger photo.
- The0, on 01/07/2009, -0/+2Damn! I always do that. You got me. Take my badge and gun.
- robdiggity, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2I must admit, the title piqued my interests.
- Infowarsdotcom, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2I don't care if it's the ny times...I had to digg it for high res pictures of Mars.
- soogy, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2I hear there's a cream that will clear that right up.
- Cancerous, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2Haha, when I saw the thumbnail for the postcards from mars gallery, I thought it was a drop of water and I was so confused.
- robdiggity, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2Astute observation as always Mr. Spock. Ahead warp factor three.
- Culyt, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1They have higher quality pics of the face, its not a face just some hills with shadows that look like a face from space. Either that or NASA are slowly photoshopping it out ;)

☢ - KingVegas702, on 01/06/2009, -1/+2Botox that before it starts to sag!!!
- robdiggity, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Or that dude's face.
- johnnyzero, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1I would have too, but it could be a pun, there are pictures of peaks there. But I Will Bury It For Excessive Caps, Unnecessary Punctuation.
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -1/+1Kinda interesting.
- cubicledrone, on 01/06/2009, -1/+1Remember that Digg readers believe that a liberal arts education is completely worthless.
- ausfahrt, on 01/06/2009, -4/+2Why is this asking my to register to view these photos? Burry.
- The0, on 01/06/2009, -5/+2Nice unnecissary comma, Shatner.
Cool article, though.
