As we have now access to archived OSIRIS images and data from other instruments, I think that it's good idea to start up special topic for that.
Here are few results from the newly published data: Hi-Res crosseye stereo color image of Imhotep regio at resolution 0.5 m/pix. Anaglyph version: Global color image at 2.2 m/pix: -------------------- |

Gorgeous work Machi! The clear outline of the night portion is always a neat sight, thanks to the coma making the background less than the usual black for completely airless bodies. Wow. It's great work machi. I will wait for other articles Thanks! Your blog post also reminded me, if only Giotto's camera hadn't broken, I wonder what Halley would have looked like up close? What sort of resolution would have been possible? If we want a Rosetta style rendezvous mission in 2061, it's best to start planning now! On paper, hi-res images should have up to 13 m/pix resolution but I think that images from the closest distance would be significantly affected by the dust. This effect is already visible in the highest resolution images which were send to Earth. They have very low contrast. I think that more interesting would be images covering opposite hemisphere of the comet as that hemisphere was better illuminated by the Sun. But Giotto was simply very risky and bold mission barely comparable to anything else. With flyby speeds near 70 km/s in distance 600 km from the most active comet ever visited by humanity, no other mission comes close to that. In the end it did pretty good job! -------------------- |
