Now that the 'boop' has been completed (with spectacular success!), we'll move the discussion to here for subsequent mission events.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Agree that these are fantastic images, most inspiring to get engaged with for me since some of the early Curiosity stuff.
Dusting off some of my tool from then (like StereoPhotoMaker, which has improved!) here's some quick pseudo-3D views from nearby frames at the end of the sequence. Contrast stretched. Cross-eye view "Rotating illusion" gif (click to animate)... this one I turned 90 deg because it was easier for me to visually process. |

And here are two more, from adjacent frames (no shadow appearing suddenly and the disparity is less exaggerated). Also rotated so the motion is ~horizontal to align with eye separation.
crosseye: gif: ... seems to me that all these dark areas and other things are happening on or above the surface, and that it is not a crater or a depression after all. PS Of course except the pre-existing shallow crater (the target of the operation). These black areas can be hanging clouds or spots of very fine, dark debris (?) From these shots it appears to me that the dark areas are shadowed by the curtain of suspended material. What look like streaks of light under the "sheet" of particles are really cool, and there does appear to be a depression. Edit: The center of the impact zone is at about at the edge of the frame by this part of the sequence. |
