Images from Mars Curiosity Rover.

I've been looking at images taken by the Curiosity Rover on Mars http://www.space.com/...ity-rover-week-4.html On the images it says some of them have been enhanced to show what they would look like from an earth perspective.

Is there any way to see these images without the colour enhancement so that we can see what these areas of Mars look like to the naked eye.

They are on the nasa website.

I find NASA website hard to use.

What the hell is Will.i.am doing there? (NASA Labs, Pasadena, California not Mars). Talk about any opportunity to promote your new single...

Surprised he made it to NASA without driving into parked cars!

Will.i.am aside, the Mars pics are... well... just red tinged dust and gravel really. Didn't we already know that?

Total Recall (1990) got it pretty much spot on.

You know, just looking again at mibs' link is anyone else thinking that is just sooo cool!!

Nasa used an image of exposed coloured wiring on one of the early Mars landers to carry out colour enhancement. (Some might say 'colour correction!'). Martian daylight is pink in colour, making recognition of rock, stone and sand composition much more difficult to identify. To make identification simpler, they alter the colours to make images look as they would in Earth daylight.

The rover uses a "sundial" for calibration.
