Need advice on how to download and save the images. Everything seems to be in Flash Player mode. Is anybody getting jpg's or some other non-proprietary format?

Otherwise you can save them from http://www.spaceflightnow.com/mars/phoenix/images/lg_338.jpg O.K. Put the peanuts back in the cupboard, and let's do science! This surface has accumulated a lot of rubble. It's poorly sorted and angular. I assume most of it is distal impact ejecta (where is the nearest young crater?), with a small proportion of meteorites. This probably wouldn't have landed here overnight. Ergo, this is not a very young surface. The rubble reminds me of the exposures north of Victoria Crater down in the spaces between dunes. So what's happening here? Rockhounds? Edit: So does Alan get credit for the first UMSF processed image (the 3D) from Phoenix Station? Bravo! -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!

I dunno. I mentioned mine dumps on another thread, and they sure look like this in Butte, MT: no coherent pattern in rock shapes, lots of deposition of same on or near frost heave lines (it gets VERY cold there in the winter, and unexpectedly warm in the summer). I'd say that a lot of the rocks we see are being excavated by frost heaves over time. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
