There are a lot of really cool pictures in there, and the descriptions are interesting. I wish I knew how to interpret picture of "The Optimist" however. I see the red dot, but what is with the striations and the color scheme?

btw; I tried to zoom in on the fjords and find Slartibartfast's name, but I couldn't find it. I think the resolution on these pictures just sucks.

Edit: I dislike the USGS site because it usually doesn't provide information and it doesn't have larger sizes (in an easy to access way). I dislike the NASA site for having only really small thumbnails and big pictures, I like the sizes on USGS for browsing. It's very hard to use them in synchrony, because they are organized differently. Urg!
