Congratulations to Becky for her near-instant identification of the Skyline #3 as Manhattan taken from the deck of the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum on the Hudson. well done Becky!
Also, excellent job goes to Tom for scoring the points on the Madison, Wisconsin Satellite photo. Really, excellent job.
And once again, Roland pulled through with the correct continent. He is Three for Three folks. Let’s see how he does in round #4.

First, check out the skyline here.
Then, check out the satellite photo here.
Your tasks:
1) identify the skyline
2) is the satellite photo of the same local
3) if not, where is the location shown in the satellite photo
Holy shit I might even get this one and it’s not on this planet. Oh the irony.
That’s the skyline (well, horizon) of Mars and a satellite image of the Moon.
Mars, and the moon
Just saying “mars” and “moon” doesn’t really answer the question well enough for me… that’s like saying the previous skyline and images were simply from ‘”earth”.
Skyline photo: Gusev Crater, Mars. This was taken from the Spirit Rover at its landing site.
Sat image: This is just west of the Sea of Tranquility, Moon. This image is just west of Apollo 11’s landing site and just north of Apollo 16’s. This image includes the following craters:
Delhambre, Theon Senior, and Theon Junior (distinct grouping of one large and two small craters in the south-central area of the image)
Ritter and Sabine (equal-sized pair in the northeast region. Ritter B, C, and D are the three little ones stringing north from Ritter.)
Agrippa and Godin are the large ones in the northwest corner.
Other notable craters from this image are: Tempel, Whewell, Cayley, de Morgan, d’Arrest, Dionysius, Manners, Schmidt, Lade, Lade M, Lade B, Taylor A, and Taylor B.
Jeez, you always have to go one better, don’t you? Geek! ;)
ARE YOU SERIOUS. YOU ARE THE HUMAN WIKIPEDIA.
