BTW, by convention, and I presume that they still do this, on astronomical images of planets, South is up.
I fear that this may be not-good for Oppy. Remember that we observed wind immediately blowing evaporite dust from the tracks the other day, so there is an increase in the wind velocity from the northwest. --Bill -------------------- |

QUOTE (Bill Harris @ Oct 28 2005, 04:32 AM) BTW, by convention, and I presume that they still do this, on astronomical images of planets, South is up. You're absolutely correct. I rotated Sherrod's original image to north-up so as to conform to the JPL SSS image, and to make it a bit more familar for those who only know the Opportunity site from north-up maps. Sorry if that caused any confusion. |
