Nice animation Horton!
Hardly to say whether the 3D effect works in cross eyes. Too little topology: http://www.greuti.ch/phoenix/sol98stereoclouds.gif -------------------- |

TECP: It's dry. Really really dry.
JPL Phoenix Mission News: Spiky Probe on NASA Mars Lander Raises Vapor Quandary (September 4) QUOTE A fork-like conductivity probe has sensed humidity rising and falling beside NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander, but when stuck into the ground, its measurements so far indicate soil that is thoroughly and perplexingly dry. "If you have water vapor in the air, every surface exposed to that air will have water molecules adhere to it that are somewhat mobile, even at temperatures well below freezing," said Aaron Zent of NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif., lead scientist for Phoenix's thermal and electroconductivity probe. [...] Preliminary results from the latest insertion of the probe's four needles into the ground, on Wednesday and Thursday, match results from the three similar insertions in the three months since landing. "All the measurements we've made so far are consistent with extremely dry soil," Zent said. "There are no indications of thin films of moisture, and this is puzzling." More there. |
