Nice work. You can see what I referred to as a "brown barge" just below the Great Red Spot in this image.

Now released in it's full glory! I can almost listen New Horizons saying: I'm ready for the close-up Mr. HiRise! Fantastic image! -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

I'm trying to figure out which moons are which in this image. They didn't include the date and time in the caption (I've sent an email and got an immediate reply that they'd figure it out and post it) -- but I'm wondering, tuvas or volcanopele, if either of you have figured that out already?

This magnificent image makes me want to see an 'Earth and Moon' from HiRISE.

What would be real cool is if simultaneous observations could be done with HiRISE and Hubble to get stereo images of the outer planets.

Fantastic image ! I'd like to see Saturn, Ceres and Vesta
Now replying to an earlier post ...... I have a liiiiiittle list of candidates ('volunteers' ). Politicos make great crew for risky flights - they're so, well, disposable... Well the list of "volunteers" for Bob's mission has grown considerably today; in the form of "visionless" NASA budget cutters http://www.planetary.org/news/2007/0131_Co...s_Cut_NASA.html http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?showtopic=3846 |

What would be real cool is if simultaneous observations could be done with HiRISE and Hubble to get stereo images of the outer planets. James Actually, you can use one viewpoint and just wait for the planet in question to rotate, which doesn't take long. If you take images of any of these planets 45 minutes apart or so, you have all you need to make a 3D picture. There's a little tiny glitch due to the Sun seeming to be in two different positions, but with the Lambertian nature of clouds this is more of a theoretical problem. The practical problem in most cases is that the giant planets are mainly pretty bland. With Saturn, you can take pictures some YEARS apart to get a 3D image of the rings. There are some good examples out there -- you have to turn the image 90 degrees from the usual presentation to get the effect since that's the way the planet's plane "rotates" with respect to us. |
