- rtknox00, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1@ Thrilltone, to be fair they have a place where you can click to make them wallpaper sized, they're just scaled down

- matrixbandit, on 07/04/2008, -1/+9Abosultely retarded. Seriously, how hard is it to use the BUILT-IN and AUTOMATIC REAL-TIME spell check in Firefox? In this day and age I really think you have to go out of your way to ***** up a word that bad.

- JonProphet, on 07/04/2008, -1/+5So many big words in the title, can't spell them all right.

OGC - DrDolotts, on 07/04/2008, -0/+0The Ocean Sands one is a spin out, it actually looks more like an ice formation.
- FaithclubDotNet, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I flew over Kansas once. It looks just like that picture. Anyone know why the land makes circle patterns? I would think that squares take up more surface area to farm.
- fudged71, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2the advantage is in the irrigation system. You can put your system on a pivot in the middle, which makes it MUCH easier. The corners are sometimes used for a small crop, or as a garden for vegetables, etc.

- attention, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1whos gonna take one for the team and download all the wallpapers, put them in a zip file, upload it to rapidshare, and provide the link so that i can download it and use it as a screensaver with quartz transitions? anyone?
- amheidt, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Nobody has mentioned that all of these photos include links to their wallpapers. I had a hard time finding just one to put on my desktop...truly spectacular.
And btw, these comments suck. - DrSnugglebunny, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Bolivian deforestation makes Doctor Snugglebunny sad...
- thebrinkman, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Totally set on desktop backgrounds for the next few months.
- totnesmartin, on 07/04/2008, -0/+0Stumbled!
- om3ganet, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Pretty, but some of them aren't very big.. if you like to tile your wallpapers then you're fine.
- xolot1, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1these dont seem particularly abstract. on the contrary, many of them are quite useful.
just because the color representation is altered doesnt make it abstract...
that aquifer one is pretty cool though, made up of small circles. nice presentation of the data. - nigirimon, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1These are taken from Earth as Art http://earthasart.gsfc.nasa.gov/index.htm
