QUOTE (elakdawalla @ Oct 30 2007, 01:58 PM)  Re: rover observations, Jim Bell says: "I don't think we can do it power-wise. Regardless, you're talking 55 arcsec pixels and a spherical blob without a tail... Hrm." --Emily Emily, what about imaging from other spacecraft? Comet 17C/Holmes' tail is pointed away from Earth and Mars, so it would be nice to view the tail from the side. Even if Cassini had enough resolution, I think the comet would be too close to the Sun for viewing from Saturn. Are there other options for imaging, such as Ulysses, or the various comet and asteriod intercept missions? |
