Look at the sequence starting with this image.
There are two very bright stars rising in the dawn light. Using Solar System simulator, I strongly suspect they are Earth and Jupiter... look at the following comparison with one subframe rotated/rescaled at the same scale: -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Thanks, Sunspot. This make me happy and I cannot resist with this celebration image (a deją vue for many, but now with a planetary partner!)...
The inset is a "super-res" average of 8 single frames, enlarged by 2.5. This post has been edited by dilo: Jan 31 2006, 09:08 PM -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

and...AND...according to Jim - Venus at some point. That would make Mars, Venus, Earth and Jupiter visible in a single image

According to the following URL using the view from Mars: http://space.jpl.nasa.gov web page to draw the view map from Mars:
According to the above view map, the Earth point might be in the middle of three bright points. Rodolfo |

This is a more serious version...I worked to brings up Venus (in the low/left corner) and,Rodolfo, Earth is between the two! ...enjoy... -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Wow, what an inspiring image. I started pondering the angles and opened up my copy of The Sky. If I were to go out into my back yard tomorrow morning at 2:08am EST, assuming a completely clear horizon and perfect sky conditions, I could see Jupiter and Mars on opposite sides of the sky. Jupiter would be ~2.5 degrees above the eastern horizon, and Mars ~2.5 degrees above the west. And there above we have the same scene from Mars' POV. Cool.
I've just been loving the rovers' astrophotograpy! -------------------- --O'Dave

As cool and inspiring as these new images are, they do show the limitations of trying to eek out super-res data from these already processed and compressed images. In the inset Earth looks to have an almost circular disk but that can't be with a phase angle (from Mars) of about 100 degrees or so:

Correct, Airbag. The PanCam pixel is slightly larger that apparent Earth size, so cannot resolve it! I tried to find also the Moon (should be about 15 pixels below Earth in the enlarged image) but, as usual, is too weak...
Thanks for the kind words. -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
