Hi PTK-LFM'ers,
1. FYI - The December '96 issue of Sky & Telescope features two
wonderful pieces on Mars, including a cover story on current and future
missions and a second on our evolving impressions of Mars as reflected in
science fiction. This issue is a must for all PTK-LFM'ers.
2. I'm currently involved with a team of teachers in an NCSA study
of virtual reality applications in education. My goal is to expand the
results of Activity 1.2 from the LFM Teacher's Guide into a 3-D computer
rendering. I would most appreciate suggestions from anyone knowledgeable
of currently available mac software which can take x,y,z coordinates and
render them into a virtual landscape.
On to Mars,
Tim McCollum
