#4. Find this vantage point on the surface of Mars using the Google Earth Mars feature. Extra mega special bonus points if you can send me a screencap recreating this image using the 3D Mars model.




Sure enough, if you give someone a challenge, they'll take you up on it. @spacekiwi sent in this recreation of the photo above (taken by Spirit on sol 489) made with Google Earth/Mars:



And just for fun, I made this. Isn't Google Earth incredible?



#5. How about this one?



And the winnner is..... @snibble

These two colliding galaxies are called NGC 2207 and IC 2163. Here is the Spitzer telescope imagery that is included in one of the Google Sky layers:



#6. And now one of my favorites...



And we have two winners: @snibble and @gonz037

We have here Eta Carine. How cool is this image from Google Sky?
