While we wait out the Government shutdown, it’s time to acknowledge a few great sites!

The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment, HiRISE, is a camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter built by Ball Aerospace at the direction of the University of Arizona to provide a detailed view of the surface of Mars.  The images produced by HiRISE are stunning and well worth taking a look.
