CICLOPS' Rev 49 Looking Ahead page is up. Highlights include a fourth monthy Voyager-class encounter with Tethys with 500m resolution over Odysseus (finally!)
Detailed mosaics of Rhea's prominent ray crater and points west are on tap for Old Scabby's second closeup. This should be a really cool periapsis passage to tide us over until the 10th of September. -------------------- ...if you don't like my melody, i'll sing it in a major key, i'll sing it very happily. heavens! everybody's all aboard? let's take it back to that minor chord...

Oh, trust me, I don't seriously believe there was anything like that going on. Just that some peoples' public statements on the general subject could lead the conspiracy-minded to that kind of conclusion.
The lesson, I guess, is that when you go on record as having a given minority view, and you could possibly have some influence on future events surrounding related issues, you have to be more careful than normal to avoid even the appearance of wrongdoing... But, as I said, I'm not seriously suggesting anyone actually messed up the raws in order to make then unusable by amateurs. Just that the appearance of wrongdoing is invited, and could be pursued by the conspiracy-minded, because some people have aired such views. Actually, on the larger conspiracy front, I'm a little surprised that the Hoaxland crowd never jumped on the image quality issues by screaming "What are they trying to hide?????!!!!!" -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

You're giving them too much credit. You think they're capable of noticing such a mundane thing over all the alien artifacts and technology and satellites visible as tiny specks in each frame? -------------------- |
