I've been a heavy user of Midnight Mars Browser for several years and I'm incredibly grateful for the work that Michael has done.
Now I ask myself, should we create again an alternative way to look and search for images coming from Mars? In the last several months I developed a way to ingest InSight images in order to have a small database and a telegram bot that tells me when a new image is uploaded to the InSight web site and I can try to do the same with the MSL imagery. But, I have several questions: What is the better way to show the data in the web page? Which is the best way to order the images? I'd love to hear some suggestions for that. Greetings. |

Nice, Fernando! I'm not sure what you meant by CORS - my browsers showed the images fine without any plugins.
One suggestion, to help those without a fast connection: load only the thumbnail images on the pages showing multiple images from one sol, and then load the full image when you click on the thumbnail. Chemcam images should be courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech/LANL. Moderators: Is there any chance this thread could be moved to MSL? It only talks about viewing MSL images and doesn't relate to "Image Processing Techniques". It's really a sequel to the old thread Curiosity Image Retrieval Tools, scripts and software. |

Thank you so much fredk ! I like the suggestion, although I'll have to think about what to do when there are no thumbnails (not every image has one, I believe). Thanks also for the correction to ChemCam credits.
