Congratulations to the InSight team on a successful landing! We'll discuss the remainder of the mission here.

I cleaned up all the fisheye 'lens cover' images and then the 'cover removed' images and put them in a gif
observations and impressions: * the 'grayed out section' in the lower left was to get rid of a 'residual arm shadow' (that moved between images) and made the ground to left look like a rock(!) * the 'big rock' has a very circular pattern on top (multiple?) that looks to these aging eyes that it was cleaned off by a blast from a propulsion nozzle * there appears to an engine blast pattern to the left of the big rock * there appears to be 'straight lines' leading up to the right side landing pad, left to right, at an angle that parallels the outboard strut ... blast patterns or skid marks(?) * the whole left side of the image appears to be 'cleaned out' of pebbles and small rocks, as opposed the right side of the image (blast effect? or just plain old luck?) as always, your mileage may vary... Cheers! -------------------- CLA CLL

Is it my imagination, or does it look like there is actually more dust on the lens after the cover was removed? ![]() It does appear to be the case. I wonder if there's a static charge or such occurring? For a camera with a (removed) lens cover, there's quite a bit of dust! Here a quick animation showing the two frames so far - Sol4, 12:53:51 PM vs 13:27:07 PM |
