Default Favorite Pics

I have a photo of Jupiter that I got based on someone here mentioning it. I think it is from Cassini's fly-by, and it is awesome and available as a high-res TIFF that I printed out large.

I want to find it again for my 10-year-old niece. Anyone know where that file might be?

I'm also trying to find a favorite Mars picture that I didn't save at the time, or misplaced the link. I don't know if it was ultra printable resolution, but was high for screen display. It was a picture of the rover looking at a part from the heat shield. Again, anyone know where that file is or what it was numbered?

Also, any other pointers to favorites that are poster quality would be great.

--John

If it's worth seeing, it's been on APOD at some point or another. A "find in page" search on your key words reveals:

Jupiter

Heat Shield

Are these the images you were looking for?

Speaking, I think the hi-rez Jupiter shot may have appeared in the BABBlog at some point. A search there on Cassini may bear fruit.

On APOD, the one here is the one I'm looking for. Not the cropped part in that url, but the image you get when you click on it. There is no info provided about a call number or link to the TIFF in the NASA archives.

The heat shield image isn't what I remember, but it may be from the same sequence or arted-up differently from the same data.

This might be the Jupiter picture you want:

http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA04866

There's a link to the 7.5 Meg tiff.
