As far as distant objects go, we know that plain ol' rock can be quite bright, the Victoria Beacon being the most famous example.

I guess you mean the one on the FAR side, don't you? laugh.gif

Here's my take on the southwest horizon, with a large vertical exageration. RGB filter images were merged with higher resolution Red filter pictures.

Even if I understand vertical exageration, can you point out the ratio vertical/horizontal? Even if very neat, I cannot make up my mind about the reality.
Thanks

Lovely panorama.

Those low hills give that horizon such mysery! Such an unexpected sight on such a flat region smile.gif

About 10x vertical exaggeration.

Finally got back home after three weeks travelling - i could check up on Phoenix but not do much with it. But here we go. First, I took James's vertically stretched pan, and merged it with Doug's much earlier low res one to fill a few gaps - bit of a fudge job but the best I could do quickly. Then I made it into a circular 'polar' projection, north at the top. Here it is:

Next I'll do a comparison of that with Tim Parker's map. It helps to show which features are on the horizon. Some are obvious, some not.

I agree that the composition of just sol 16 is better, in fact I was away creating a cropped version as you posted. smile.gif


Here's why it's better. Draw a diagonal from top left to bottom right of the whole image and divide it in the golden ratio. You're right in the back of the scoop! Now add a vertical and a horizontal through that point (both similarly divided of course). The lower left rectangle neatly contains the solar panel. Next draw the diagonal of this rectangle and extend the line of the robot arm to meet it. There you have (more or less) a right angle close to bottom centre of the view - the two lander components, passive and active, (yin/yang?) counterposed in the most dramatic possible configuration. That's why this version, and Astro0's, works so well.

EDIT: You have to click on the APOD picture to get the whole composition - and to discover that it's James's mosaic.

I've put a little browse and search interface that might be of use for the Phoenix Raw images dataset. It's only using the metadata up to sol 9. Don't have the most recent csv file.

It's something I'm interested in developing. It's very basic right now and on a VERY old server and machine, so it's slow. But works.

There is lots more to do and not much time to do it in but I just wanted to give you guys a look and get some feedback.

You can just create a query to submit based on the image features and it sorts the dataset with respect to that query. Nothing much.

Edit: I know there are some kinks to be straightened, espeicially relating to the 'More Like This' Feature. It's in work smile.gif.

Goes to show that Phoenix standing almost level is pure luck and not a function of perfectly flat terrain.
