Ditto, unfortunately.

But look out for a reprojection of Huygens imagery I did on to a planetarium dome in B'ham that they're going to use

5.12pm Eastern is 10.12pm UK time. I'm not sure where you're getting 00:!2 frmo.

I don't think Stu meant spray, like mud out the back of a car in a muddy field. Just motion by churning of the wheels.

Just try churning really dry flour. It does things just like that. We've seen churning like this many times, with both rovers. There is no reason to suspect that there is any aqueous action involved.

Go and look at the FHAZ images over the past few months, you can see this pattern form as the driving took place. Ditto several times at Meridiani.

It's not ontop of the RTG - it's mounted on one of the trusses that stands up at the back of the rover deck. It's the UHF antenna for relay to MODY/MEX/MRO

When is ESA going to learn that the mission is should be doing is Netlander. Grrrrr.

Good points both.

Ulysses doesn't have any imaging instruments (but, amazingly, is still going!).

Cassini MIGHT be usefull.

Glances off his hand...then makes a 1ft wide crater.

Yeah.

Right.

The other wheels are all reporting normal currents.

Could always use the FL. I'd expect us to do 1 - 2 more drives to get to the next bit of outcrop before having some down-time to make the decision between left and right.

Which was 19:30 UK time, or 18:30 GMT...which was BEFORE I posted 'bang'.

BANG

I'm with you Greg.

Why not email the appropriate PI as listed in the PDS documentation.

MER CCD response is in this paper

They're very out of date (4 years)

A hot pixel with added pixel bleed?

We've mentioned this many times before. Check the right and left eye. Compare them. If you think you've seen a 'star' or 'meteor' or something else....find the matching eye. For it to be a REAL object, it must be in BOTH images.

In this case - there are no similar star like features in both the right and left eye.

But material posted here is classified as a unique creation and is thus not copyright free.

With Spirit producing an annoyingly large amount of power given her current predicament, the time may well have come to re-open the Gusev astronomy society. Anyone have any dusk / nightime observation ideas?

What might work as an anaglyph is the two mosaics together - as if your head was rotated 90 degrees.

I think you are reading too much into throw away comments.

He's highlighting the fact that DB failed to actually read EGD's post and used it as an excuse to push his non-aqueous meridiani theory which already has its own thread.

I think with some stretching they will be there. Something that large over the horizon would have to be several KM's across.

Now I remember that plane!

I did it in 3DS Max about 10 years ago!
