A friend and I here at work were scratching our heads as to how those paths could be right - until we realized they were as viewed through an Alt-Az mount. Using an equatorial mount should result in a near straight line across the sun, correct?

What is that impression in front of Oppy just to the right? Almost looks like a boot print.

How's the orbit holding up? Last I heard it was going to be reentering before mid-December.

Could a fuel leak raise perigee?

Are they making some of the new measurement using Doppler? Perhaps the Viking S-band radios didn't have sufficient frequency stability.

Like that one *much* better.

Beautiful collection of MRO HiRISE photos here:

Here's an example of Ham radio tracking a balloon. (you can use any random characters as your nick.)

Thanks Tman

Which wheel is it that gave them problems on Oppy? As they begin to make their way out of Victoria, has that wheel motor been behaving itself?

What causes that 'Rainbow effect'?

Since the temperature cycles a bit above and below -40, °F or °C doesn't matter

2.4 m/s = 5.37 miles per hour. Advertised landing speed was 5 MPH , not 5 km/h. It's important to keep units straight approaching mars

Then there is this one:

Sounds to me like it would promote mutations. Cells with damaged DNA prevented from dying....

Thanks!

Missed it last night. Someone got a link to the video please?

Can the IDD make mechanical connection with the deck? How about bringing the IDD into mechanical contact with the deck then running the RAT a bit. I would think that would produce at least a bit of vibration.

Is there any recent info as to how much power Spirit is generating?

In regards to the spacewalk to fix the snagged panel, news reports are stating the astronaut:
"runs the risk of being shocked as he tries to fix the damaged panel."

Shorting something out and getting a few sparks I can see, but the idea of there being enough voltage there to be a shock hazard - particularly through the suit - is surprising to me. What buss voltages are they running there?
