WHAT'S NEW Robert L. Park Friday, 6 Jan 06 Washington, DC DEEP SPACE CLIMATE OBSERVATORY KILLED. http://bobpark.physics.umd.edu/index.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Using the automated server containing the json file of all images (here: http://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/images.php), it appears that the images containing the lunar transits are not present there. Considering Emily's post, I'm not sure what it does mean. Does the folder http://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/epic-archive/png/XXX.png contain only the non-lunar transit images ? Only featured images ? I am a bit confused, I could download more that 1800 EPIC images automatically except the most dramatic ones...
In the meantime I struggle a bit with the quaternion of the spacecract. According to it, the image should be oriented like this: But when forcing the "up" of the image to "North" in earth frame, the image becomes inconsistant with the given quaternion but oriented as expected: Any idea if the images were post-processed to make them point north ? |
