Greetings folks,
ESA recently released map projected version of HSRC images, including orbit 1183 when MEX took a look at Meridiani Planum and Oppy's landing site. Which allows me to present you... the first color image of Victoria! It's created from the HSRC Red, Green, Blue channels which have resolution of 56.2m/pixel. Since it is just simple GIMP color composite, I wouldn't rather trust the colors completely, but still figured you'd like to see it I also tried the ESA supplied HSRC reader tool and the result was virtually identical, albeit I'm unsure whether one shouldn't apply some transformations. Trying to find some docs on it PNG version |

Where would Opportunity be in those images in relation to Victoria now?
I am so used to seeing Victoria close up that seeing how small it is compared to that other Martian crater was an initial surprise. If the rover survives, any chance they will try for that really big crater? What is its name? -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |
