Spacey, huh?

That's because it is from outer space, booboo: namely, Mars.

The photo above is among those in a new book (out last week) entitled "Postcards From Mars."

It consists of over 150 high-resolution (some initially over 100MB) full-color photograpshs taken by the Mars rovers.

Ashley Bleimes interviewed Jim Bell, an associate professor of astronomy at Cornell University who headed the project, for a story that appears in today's (November 21, 2006) USA Today.

The book ($50 list) is $31.50 at Amazon.
