I would like to get some of the latest photos of the Voyager flyby to display on my 1000. Any space art would be good to find. There must be some electronic photos floating around on the net somewhere. Where do you find these and what special programs do you need to display them? Is there a program to convert FITTS format to IFF? How come I never see any art stuff posted in the binaries? Is there any interest in computer art on the net? Thanks

Check out the sci.space newsgroup; there has been a *LOT* of discussion on the Voyager II flyby, and there was one or two FTP sources of digitized photos given there recently, although they were either Sun Raster format or Encapsulated PostScript, if my memory serves me correctly. But then, I believe we have ways of converting these to IFF or GIF. If you, or anyone else, has any Voyager pictures out there, please post where you are. I can't ftp from the machine I'm on, but I have occasional access to a machine that does, and I'll be checking out the sources that were mentioned in sci.space, and let you know what I find out (for the record, the one with the EPS files is hanauma.stanford.edu, with the files in pub/neptune).

I haven't downloaded them, but perhaps someone who has could post them to Usenet for all the world to share (Harv?). -- -- Alan Bland -- att!druwy!mab or mab@druwy.ATT.COM -- AT&T Bell Laboratories, Denver CO -- (303)538-3510

Any space art would be good to find. Yes! An anim of neptune rotating would be AWESOME!!! Maybe someone could find or make such an anim and mail it to Fred Fish???
