Hanauma.stanford.edu (IP number 36.51.0.16) has available a sampling of voyager images of Neptune. (Anonymous ftp, go into "pub", go into "neptune", grab "README" first.) These images were digitized off the NASA-JPL feed on Stanford cable TV. They are copyright by NASA-JPL. ------------------------------- So it is all right to grab them to pin up on the wall, show your family and friends, whip up public support for unmanned space exploration, etc, but it is not all right to use them in the paper you are sending to Nature explaining your theory about the surface of Triton (unless JPL says it's OK, of course). Each of the files consists of 1 or more 8-bit grayscale images, 640 by 480 pixels. Do not send me mail asking whether I have them available in your favorite format. I don't. The images were digitized using "ProViz" on a Mac II, and saved on a UNIX AUF partition as Encapsulated Postscript. The postscript text was deleted; only the binary data is in the file. Note that this data does not contain anywhere near as much information as the original Voyager data; it is only as good as what you could see on TV. It is, however, better than what you are likely to have seen in the newspapers. Finally, please don't ask me to post these images; they're too big. Please also don't ask me to e-mail them to you; I just don't have time (sorry!). (Exceptions can, of course, be made if you have a useful public-domain graphics subroutine to donate to the cause of a public-domain program for displaying Postscript^TM (ghostscript, actually) on any kind of device!) Share and Enjoy. \ /\ /\ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\.-.-.-.-.......___________ \ / \ / \ /Dept of Geophysics, Stanford University \/\/\.-.-....___ \/ \/ \/Joe Dellinger joe@hanauma.stanford.edu apple!hanauma!joe\/\.-._
