It appears Rosetta stuff, including the Mars flyby Osiris data, has hit the PDS. I don't have time to look at it now, but I'm downloading it. http://pdssbn.astro.umd.edu/holdings/

^ I can't believe they just sat on that Mars shot for nearly five years.

Is this a crescent view of Deimos???? That huge south polar indentation identifies it, I think. Dang, should have checked the index file, it's Phobos. (Thanks, Gordan.)

Nearly every shot of Mars includes Phobos.

And to think these weren't shared with the world because they were "overexposed" and therefore not of any interest.......grumblegrumblegrumble......

OMG....is this what I think it is??? Can it be one of Mars' moons, mostly Marslit, setting behind Mars' nightside, Mars' atmosphere forward-scattering sunlight to us...? There is a TON of these, a whole animation of crescent Phobos? setting. Not sure what the source of the noise is. If my interpretation is correct, WOW.

The index file labels that as "Post CA Phobos Spectrophotometric". Here it is in RGB, magnified 2x:

Note that all images are mirrored so they need to be flipped. I have no idea which way north is supposed to be.

Lovely. I'd like to see this or something very much like this used as the 'default' Mars image rather than that Viking photomosaic centered on Valles Marineris.

Gordan, lovely treat. Just got home from the symphony. I will have to have a crack at these in the coming days.

Fantastic! Thanks everyone.

The thing that looks like an earwig's posterior in the Mars shots is Gale crater.

Thanks for pointing that out Phil, that's one more note for the images.

At the time of the encounter it was made known that some images of a "crescent Mars" had been taken, but hadn't been released because they were "over-exposed". I was - some may recall! laugh.gif - rather upset about that, and emailed the ROSETTA team more than once asking for the images to be released, even if they were over-exposed, because they were still of interest. Nope.

Found them.

Fair enough. cool.gif

I had just a quick look at the data, but I couldn't find what I was looking for: the raw Philae image of the orbiter with the background of Mars (to me, the best UMSF image ever!)
has anybody seen it?

I think, that it's similar situation as in case of the Stardust' Tempel 1 images. Mars and Earth data from Rosetta are not officially released and same situation in case of the Philae lander.

Nice findings!

Beautiful images!
