The pictures you request are created in real-time from a three-dimensional simulation of the solar system, and from texture maps of the planets' and moons' surfaces previously captured by various flybys (or in Pluto's case, from imagination, since we don't yet have any good surface pictures). And the results are startlingly accurate, as demonstrated at http://space.jpl.nasa.gov/samples.html where David compares actual images with those rendered by this simulation. David is providing this service using a single workstation (technical details are at http://space.jpl.nasa.gov/tech.html). ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Martin Cosgrave, Chief Technical Officer, AppDev Ltd.
