Don't try and load this image unless you have a high speed connection. This is a 250m resolution sat image of Rita.

Here's a more dial up friendly crop from the above link. And yes the Rapid Fire system provides some of the very best imagery.

Incredible picture. If you look at the eye, there's a shark fin type clearing there...the whole thing looks like a real eyeball almost with the shark fun shape being the pupil...creepy.

Beautiful pic. I looked sideways at the first picture and it looks like the apes in Planet of the Apes.

The dial up picture is scary. Look closely into the center of the eye and it looks like a SKULL looking back at you with dark eye sockets. Very Creepy sort of like the skull and cross bones as a omen.
