What happened to that great b&w photo?

First, I'm sorry about the redundant post, but I couldn't get the reply function to work on the earlier thread. That black and white image I was raving about earlier was not in 3D. It was the one they actually referred to during the press conference that everyone in the control room marveled about when the image first came in because of how tall the hills were. They seemed to be as awestruck about it as I was, but now it looks like all they're making available on their website are some very small versions of it that don't look like much. In fact they're so small I can't even be sure which one it is, assuming it's one of them. Surely, they won't be foolish enough to miss this public relations opportunity. It may have been the best image of another world I've ever seen. For anyone that didn't see the press conference you owe it to yourself to try and catch a reply on Nasa TV or maybe even C-Span and you'll see what I mean.

I should add that I don't have any 3-D glasses, so it could be that with the glasses the black and white 3-D version is similar to the other image. To the naked eye, though, it is nowhere near as impressive as the one I'm talking about.
