knewd

visual tumblog by paul reid

“If a man knew(d) anything, he would sit in a corner and be modest; but he is such an ignorant peacock, that he goes bustling up and down, and hits on extraordinary discoveries.”
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

this experimental tumblog aggregates memorable digital breadcrumbs i come across - this is my way of both sharing and archiving bitz i already knewd. and perhaps u did 2!

What created this great cliff on Mars? Did giant waterfalls once plummet through its grooves? With a four-kilometer drop, this high cliff surrounding Echus Chasma, near an impressive impact crater, was carved by either water or lava via antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov

The gibbous phase of Jupiter’s moon Europa. The robot spacecraft Galileo captured this image mosaic during its mission orbiting Jupiter from 1995 - 2003. Evidence and images from the Galileo spacecraft, indicated that liquid oceans might exist below the icy surface. (Galileo Project, JPL, NASA; reprocessed by Ted Stryk) via cache.boston.com

This true color mosaic of Jupiter was constructed from images taken by the narrow angle camera onboard NASA’s Cassini spacecraft on December 29, 2000, as the spacecraft neared Jupiter during its flyby of the giant planet. It is the most detailed global color portrait of Jupiter ever produced. Although Cassini’s camera can see more colors than humans can, Jupiter here looks the way that the human eye would see it.
