Yep -- just loaded up that solar panel image in a quick-and-dirty tool that let me boost the brightness, and sure enough, a little field of pebbles appeared in the background.

Oh good. I guess I have my brightness set well enough on my computer.

You beat me to that by about a minute there, Dan. She looked tired but happy.

I'm enjoying the first quick-and-dirty color image from Phoenix by Emily posted on TPS blog. Thank you for all your hard work.

I just remembered that my name is on that lander.

Forgot about that, thanks planetary society!

the rubble on the ground 'reminds' me of the uncountable rocks that surface in my garden every spring as the freezing and thawing pushes them up to the surface (New England)


Precisely; I'm gonna go out on a limb & propose that the same mechanism is at work here.

Dan: Yeah, saw Emily out there; man, she really did right by us!!! smile.gif Truly aces in my book, and should be so for every other UMSFer.

The streaming feed from NASA TV went crappy over the last few minutes, missing damn near all the Q&A here.

I'm capturing it on my sat box. Remind me later and I'll try and make a copy for you if they don't archive it.

I did catch that question in the presser; nobody wants to hazard a guess about that thing yet. Understandable...but, yeah, gotta be EDL hardware, obviously.

In fact, the 'lens flare' is almost identical to the spec reflection that Oppy's backshell produced at certain angles, and IIRC Phoenix uses identical CCDs. That's pretty much a smoking gun.

I'm going with Dr. Griffin on that one. Clearly a polar bear.

PSP_006996_2480 may also cover the landing area
