DESCRIPTION:Mankind has stood on\, viewed and photographed only one other 
 world beyond the Earth - the Moon - but has explored others out to the pla
 net Saturn by proxy\, with landed cameras\, some on mobile robots able to 
 venture into dramatic places. Yet other planetary explorations have been b
 y remote mapping from orbiting satellites that produce files of scientific
  data that can be viewed as pictures.  This effort has built up into a lar
 ge number of little-known but stunning planetary landscape pictures that r
 epresent what you would see if\, as a space tourist\, you visited these al
 ien worlds. \n\nIn this talk I explore the scientific reality in this extr
 aterrestrial scenery.  In parallel I consider how the presentation of that
  reality in these extraterrestrial landscapes has been formed by the way s
 pace scientists and spacecraft controllers have viewed\, been influenced b
 y and remembered pictures of terrestrial scenery created by the landscape 
 painters of art history.
