In the past we've had some good Viking images here. Soon - all too soon - we will not have Phoenix any more, but despair not! Now we can re-live Viking by playing with old images. They can be searched by sol at the PDS.
As an example, I've made a composite of the very last Surface Sampler activities at either Viking site. This is work done on Viking 2 sol 957 and imaged on sol 957 and 959. (someone can animate it if they like!) We see two separate trenching activities at the same place, and a soil dump (bottom) and a conical soil pile made by the second dump (middle). (more obvious in an animation, I just can't make one on this machine). Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Nice to see Vanden's persistence and new result with the VL2 noon color hi-res panorama!

Thanks !
I edited my post "NOON HIGH RESOLUTION COLOR MOSAIC" to add a new high resolution color image : 21i091_HIGH_RESOLUTION_COLOR Although modest in size it is a part of the famous/historical/mythical low-resolution color image (official version): PIA00571 For information here's how raw images (mainly used) are : - Low-resolution color: 21i093 - High-Resolution black & white : 21i091 My Low Resolution version (21i090+21i093+21d224-225-226) : |
