Cool- Did you create that yourself? Or which website did you get that from? EDIT: Interesting that Phoenix has been near Earth ever since launch... I think the second TCM later this month should change that Yes, I created the image with a program called xplanet (by Hari Nair) and you can use spice kernels you can download from the NASA NAIF site. It's a bit like Celestia but for still images. Phoenix is still relatively close to Earth because it went inwards first (thus moving faster than Earth) , it's just since last week Phoenix is starting to move out. Phoenix and Dawn will stay relatively close to each other till Phoenix reaches Mars. |
