There's a very good one today for voting day, but I'm not clever enough to get the image to paste here. Can someone help me?

You go to the image and right-click on it, then you go on the menu that appears to "properties" and click on it. Then you'll see a url somewhere in the middle, you select it and do "ctrl-C". Then you go to your new post on the forum, you do "insert image" (on top between the icons) and when the window appears to put in the url, you do "ctrl-V" and "OK".

In 1890, Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli drew this map of Mars. Today, on his 174th birthday, we are excited to include his work with many other new features for Mars in Google Earth.

We salute Schiaparelli's pioneering spirit, his drive to explore, and his desire to understand the universe. His observations impacted the way humans viewed Mars for nearly a century and started a revolution in Astronomy.

Come join the Martian Revolution.
