Burma- Images of Burmese Political Prisoners jailed by a tyrannical junta whilst India and China stand idly by


Some images of Burmese political prisoners including:Shin Gambira,Ko Ko Gyi,Su Su Nway,Nilar Thein, Noble Aye, Thin Thin Aye, Khin Moe Aye and Aung San Su Kyi. Unfortunately the outside world has largely forgotten about the repression, which still stalks the country. Even this week The South Dagon Township Court sentenced ‘All Burma Federation of Students Union’ (ABFSU) leader Dee Nyein Linn to another five years in prison, for unlawful association. He has already been serving a prison term of over 10 years. It is time for the US and the EU to exert greater pressure on the tyrants of Rangoon. Sadly India and China have turned a blind eye to the activities of the Burmese Junta. China actively supports the Burmese army.

Mars Express Spacecraft returns stunning pictures

The High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express has returned images of Echus Chasma, one of the largest water source regions on the Red Planet. Echus Chasma is the source region of Kasei Valles which extends 3000 km to the north. The data was acquired on 25 September 2005. The pictures are centred at about 1° north and 278° east and have a ground resolution of approximately 17 m/pixel. Credits: ESA/ DLR/ FU Berlin (G. Neukum)

Icy, Patterned Ground on Mars-Phoenix Mars Lander



Click on Image to enlarge
This image shows a polygonal pattern in the ground near NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander, similar in appearance to icy ground in the arctic regions of Earth. Phoenix touched down on the Red Planet at 4:53 p.m. Pacific Time (7:53 p.m. Eastern Time), May 25, 2008, in an arctic region called Vastitas Borealis, at 68 degrees north latitude, 234 degrees east longitude.

This is an approximate-color image taken shortly after landing by the spacecraft's Surface Stereo Imager, inferred from two color filters, a violet, 450-nanometer filter and an infrared, 750-nanometer filter. The Phoenix Mission is led by the University of Arizona, Tucson, on behalf of NASA. Project management of the mission is by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Spacecraft development is by Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver.
