Horton!!! those are amazing,
I can see crystals of magnetic minerals, some even translucent!

Reply 336 image is just crazy! Look at that! It looks like there's some kind of colloidal stuff growing in the soil surface of the right side. What are those frosty light colored blobs/grains on the right side of the image? Some look like they are connected! Surely that must be a trick of light or pixelation?

I agree with Dan, Hort your images are a once in a lifetime mindblowing experience.
The time that anyone of us would have to spend to consistantly create images similar to yours would be months to years and even then the images would likely not be as good.

Thank you again for the free ride.
I'm certain that NASA would have a place for you as a consultant...full or part time. I'm surprised that you haven't been appproached (or maybe you have). NASA budget woes could certainly proclude active recruitment.

I was hoping that if you happen across the scale of your images in UMs, microns, millimeters, centimeters, or whatever scale they use, or what might be applicable.

Your images would be more amazing/valuable to many scientists (50% or more) if a scale was included (maybe along the bottom of the image or in an area where there is no useful data).

Interpretation of soils in based in part on particle size. I wouldn't spend too much time on this but if the scale was handy you might throw it in.

Dan is right, higher level professionals would look at your stuff more frequently and maybe comment more frequently here. Talent like yours is rare and tossing in a scale would be easy. Whenever I submitted geology pics to my professors they always scolded me for a lack of scale. I include a scale on most geology and some biology pics now.

I think this lack of scale has hampered the general public's appreciation of nearly everyone's posted images and NASAs posted images. Without a scale, it is like there is a whole missing DIMENSION (or three) in the image ...an additional dimension or three that is easily attainable.

I don't mean to be a whiner, I'm just sayin.
Thanks again for spending so much time to polish the mysteries of science and show us the trophies!!!!

Thanks Hort!
