So Tethys is the 'static' one which was targetted, and Dione moved past.

Just doing the Pandora + Ring movie that's on the raw's as well.

GET OUT THE INTERNET CAFE PHIL, for the only day of the year, it's Sunny in the UK and you're WASTING it



Doug

Cool eh?

I'm afraid my IcySats knowledge is terrible - and I just go from what the raw images website tells me..and it says Tethys....if anyone can fill me in on the 'other' one

Hands up if you thought the darker moon was going to go infront of the brighter moon !

Doug

Thats funny, at exactly the same time, with exactly the same equipment, I was taking a similar exposure of the sky here in Leicester

I apologise, on behalf of the whole nation, for the total and utter Cricket obsession that's going to at the moment. It looks like we might actually win something, and that's a rare enough occasion to warrent plenty of attention

Enjoy the UK

DOug

I hereby nominate 'Oasis Leasure Centre, Swindon" - as they've got a great wavemaker in their pool.

Doug

I see lots of small ones on the latest image, but any large ones would have smashed what is likely to be a fragile body to pieces.

Doug

Much like the colour image from DI, or the occasional colour image from NEAR...it showed very little colour variation. It's only when stretched to hell and back that you get something like the freaky colours Galileo showed us of the asteroids it visited en-route.

Doug

A full HiRISE frame is 6.6 times taller than that as well

Pity they didnt get the earth as well - that would have been astonishing.

Doug

800m is the onyl number I've seen batted around.

Is that an average diameter, a length...I dont know.

Doug

Just so you know - those are not 'real' images, they are renderings using images from MOC WA imagery on a daily basis.

Doug

I think the thing to do would be to wait for MER mission end (a tragic thing to wait for, I know ) and then schedule something 1 yr in advance - so everyone can plan for it, save up for it etc etc. Get some good speakers in, try and tie it in to the w'end before a big conference so the people will be around.

Doug

It seems a bit random since the ETH's started making it in there.

Doug

Jason has mentioned in the past that some members of the imaging team actually check in on the raw images website to see what has and hasnt come down, so would could infer that they all go on there.

Doug

Yes indeed.

Did she say "I never have to put a slide about spokes in my talks because I know someone will always ask about them" ?

Doug

Hellloooooooooo - would you like to step this way...

Is there any way I could get a copy of that stuff? I'd really like the Spirit EDL sequence, and the first-uhf-pass-with-images, totally unedited

Doug

"The forum run by that nutter who asked about the spokes on Saturday morning thinks it's found pictures of the spokes possibly reappearing..."



Doug

A friend of mine relied on AAVSO observations as part of his thesis into Cataclysmic Variables. He's an X-ray astronomer now, but the visual reports really helped.


Doug

The figures I've heard are 10m of strata at Endurance, and up to 40 at Victoria.

Doug

I was being Sarcastic...

well, 75% Sarcastic, but 25% truthfull

Doug

A new world record - Mike Malin releases an image less than 6 months after it was taken



To be fair - he wasnt too shoddy with the MER stuff, but usually he's terrible!

Doug

I was thinking perhaps visualisation of field lines courtesy of charged particles?

Doug

112 people have downloaded it so far

Glad everyone likes it

If anyone from the BBC is reading. Yes - I would like a job as a science reporter, particularly in the space field.

Doug

Didnt someone admit to licking their thumb and leaving a dna-laden thumb print just under a thermal cover on something - a Voyager or a Pioneer I'm sure.

Doug

I agree - people are not thinking when they reply to posts that have huge images in them. Remember - you can go back and edit posts to cull a quoted image if you want to. I dont have the time or patience to go thru and edit 50 badly quoted posts a day.

Hopefully v2.1 of the board will have something that can help this.
