Five Years of Spirit on Mars
I normally don't go re-posting the blogs that I know most of us here read regularly, but I have to point out what a wonderful job Emily did in digesting five years of Spirit's exploration into one commentary/column of under 1800 words. I can't wait to read Opportunity's story later this month. http://www.planetary.org/blog/article/00001796/ -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Official "Bonestell" panoramas available (annotated, stereo, false color, true color). http://marsrovers.nasa.gov/gallery/press/s.../20081230a.html Note that this still isn't the finished version - the caption says there are 82 pointings, however it looks to me like they missed three at the lower right that had already been downlinked so there are actually only 79 in that version. The finished article should have 86. I found the rotated 'ground frame' anaglyph distorted and very hard to view. IMO anaglyphs should be left in the 'rover frame' as that is the orientation that Spirit's 'eyes' saw the scene, otherwise your going to have to rotate your head as you pan across. So here is my version to say Happy Birthday Spirit! Oh and as an added bonus my anaglyph is in colour - L234567&R123 that's 720 individual images. Enjoy, James -------------------- |
