With the images of clouds coming down, it is time for a new thread.
Here is just part of a panorama. Autostitch was not able to stitch more than those 2 images of 4 images. I think because there are not enough matching points. Maybe one of the other programms can do it better? Taken with the L0 navcam on Sol 962. jvandriel EDIT. I have done my math again and the Sol is not Sol 962 but Sol 950. I know there is a little program for finding the right Sol but i can't find it. jvandriel |

Zoost,
Just to elaborate a bit on edstrick's answer. Cirrus clouds are composed of tiny ice crystals. When the crystals start to fall they vaporize very rapidly in the dry martian atmosphere. They would never reach the surface, at least in the low and mid latitudes. Things might be somewhat different at the poles, but someone who knows more about the subject than I would have to explain that. |
