I don't know if anyone's posted this yet...but it's definitely worth a re-post.
I figured they would try something like this again. http://geekcounterpoint.net/files/category-10.html Just wait until they turn that bad boy towards Earth... [Edit: Image no longer available] -------------------- Mayor: Er, Master Betty, what is the Evil Council's plan?
Master Betty: Nyah. Haha. It is EVIL, it is so EVIL. It is a bad, bad plan, which will hurt many... people... who are good. I think it's great that it's so bad. -Kung Pow: Enter the Fist |

They would have to be very very close for it to be worthwhile - and you'd have to make an excellent case for the off-nominal sequencing involved.

Ikonos, SpaceImaging's earth-observing satellite has cameoed as a planetary observer. The Jupiter and Saturn pics were taken during its commissioning - It had some real problems with Saturn's low surface brightness, and badly underexposed the image. However, Jupiter turned out really well (and, for the record, the moon to the right of Jupiter is Io). The images of Mars were taken during the 2003 opposition.

Ikonos also picked up some nice Lunar images - I'll have a look for the link later...
...I wonder whether HiRise will have a good view of Saturn, or indeed A Certain Comet at any point? Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!
