Time for a new topic, I think.
A bit of monkey business with the FHAZ from 2952 shows the nature of the latest drive. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

I'm sure many of you have noticed the change in the timing of Exploratorium updates after the recent outage. The old 0-6-12-18 update schedule is gone, and now the updates come a bit later each day (presumably corresponding to the timing of the downlinks). Some of the images are now timestamped on Exploratorium very soon after they were taken - for example this new image is timestamped 03:12 this morning, PDT. But the MER filename translator says it was taken at 02:15 PDT. Just think about that for a moment - less than an hour after the image was taken on Mars, it's publicly available!
I did like the regularity of the old schedule, but getting the newest images in almost real-time is seriously cool. |
