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 |

What would be real cool is if simultaneous observations could be done with HiRISE and Hubble to get stereo images of the outer planets.

James Actually, you can use one viewpoint and just wait for the planet in question to rotate, which doesn't take long. If you take images of any of these planets 45 minutes apart or so, you have all you need to make a 3D picture. There's a little tiny glitch due to the Sun seeming to be in two different positions, but with the Lambertian nature of clouds this is more of a theoretical problem. The practical problem in most cases is that the giant planets are mainly pretty bland. With Saturn, you can take pictures some YEARS apart to get a 3D image of the rings. There are some good examples out there -- you have to turn the image 90 degrees from the usual presentation to get the effect since that's the way the planet's plane "rotates" with respect to us. |
