Yes, Mike, it is the same. Just expanding on it a bit,

I don't want to sound like a pessimist, but we must understand that India is in a state of emergency. Some very close relatives of mine almost got caught up in the situation....

Doc... I just watched the news on TV... is this about a banned topic at UMSF? If so, I understood you...

I think it's fair to say that the Indian authorities and the Indian press have far far bigger issues at the moment. Politics are totally banned from UMSF, so discussion of that subject is not allowed. Patience is called for.
Once again, however, I find myself wondering why people post here asking when people who have nothing to do with the forum will release something. |

QUOTE (djellison @ Nov 29 2008, 10:50 PM)  Once again, however, I find myself wondering why people post here asking when people who have nothing to do with the forum will release something. Surely because they hope that those 'with nothing to do with the forum' might perchance be keeping an eye on it and thereby become aware of the public appetite for their data. I think that's not a bad thing, maybe over-optimistic in some cases, but who knows? It may sometimes work. In your place I'd take it as a compliment.

Nice video! Is it real? Or computer animated? I thought it might be computer animated, but I'm really not very sure. It keeps lagging on my computer with a horribly low frame rate. =|
Where can I download the video? -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

India ( ISRO ) has officially given two videos on their website : http://www.isro.org/pslv-c11/videos/tmc.htm and http://www.isro.org/pslv-c11/videos/tmca.htm But dowload is really painful from their own site. It is available on youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDaY4p6WO6w |

The version on YouTube is described as a "fly through". To me this means a computer-generated journey through a 3-D computer-constructed landscape, whihc inthis case is generated using real moon images. What's more, it seeme to be too low to be the real orbital altitude.

Yes indeed, a flythrough of a computer-generated 3D landscape, like the Kaguya movies we have seen - Tycho, Alpine Valley etc. Let's hope we get the descent movie from the impact probe soon! I'm still trying to reconcile the various reports on the impact site - some say inside Shackleton, others 32 km from Shackleton...

Excuse me if I have I have missed something, as I've been visiting the Chicxulub area ... (place-name dropping, I know).
But...has anyone manged to "nest" the two descent images inside one another? I failed, after turning one round by about 180 degrees so the two sun directions correspond. |

They are not nested - the camera was looking sideways, not forwards. I have posted an image showing their locations above in this thread (post 261).

Nice job, thanks. Not easy, with the different illuminations between Clementine and MIP.
