Awesome Geology from Space Screen Saver

This screen saver has 42 beautiful NASA/JPL radar images of geological formations around the world, including volcanoes, rivers, Mountains, and more. The false-color palettes used in these images make them beautiful to look at as well as interesting to study. Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) is a joint U.S.-German-Italian project that uses a highly sophisticated imaging radar to Capture images of Earth that are useful to scientists across a great range of disciplines. The instrument was flown on two flights in 1994. One was on space shuttle Endeavour on mission STS-59 April 9-20, 1994. The second Flight was on shuttle Endeavour on STS-68 September 30-October 11, 1994. All photos include captions (optionally turned on or off) showing the city or area of the image. All photos are courtesy NASA and JPL. The high-quality 1024x768 photos will fill your screen and look great at any screen resolution (they will work fine for smaller screens too, so you won`t miss anything). This screen saver uses low image compression for the best possible quality.
