In Which NTodd Says His Peace
Speaking Of War
Don't forget that Mars, Bringer of War, will be the closest to Earth in 60,000 years tomorrow night!
While reading about the plans for Hubble to take some snaps of the planet, I discovered this little tidbit:
Hubble does not make color pictures directly. Rather, it collects at least three grayscale images that are later combined and colorized in the popular Photoshop software program. For each the two historic Mars pictures, Hubble will make 10 separate observations, using different filters, over a 45-minute period.
Who knew that Hubble pics were "photoshopped" just like many on this blog?
Peace out,
