Hi everyone.
Phoenix on Sol 46 have returned images of the Sun above the Northern Horizon, just before midnight. Sun 11:14 PM local time. Sun 11:16 PM local time. Sun 11:26 PM local time. Andrew Brown. -------------------- "I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world. It was extremely large with respect to the overall size of Io and crescent shaped. It seemed unbelievable that something that big had not been visible before". Linda Morabito on discovering that the Jupiter moon Io was volcanically active. Friday 9th March 1979.

Wow, exactly what I was thinking of! (post #6) As I began by admiring Stu's colourisation for a couple of minutes before flipping to the previous tab with the release image, the greys appeared a beautiful pale blue/green before my colour balance adjusted... powerfully atmospheric, like a half-remembered dream of a misty moonlit night.
It brings back and old day-dream... carpet Mars with a few dozen very cheap, simple, "nothing but images" devices. I know, I know, there are dozens of reasons it can't be done, not least the very limited science return vs the cost. *sigh* EDIT: Astro0 - looking forward to that immensely! -------------------- --
