QUOTE (Stu @ Nov 12 2009, 09:40 AM)  Huh, is it stretched oddly maybe? I put it on my desktop and the crescent looks like a saggy Halloween pumpkin. (stunning photo and I covet) |

It's not stretched - buy your computer might be stretching it to fit your desktop.

You know, it's very easy to make jokes about ESA's data release, outreach and P.R. abilities; period.

Fair is fair, someone at ESA is doing a nice job getting these looking good and released in a timely way.
I can see my town on that nightside view... should have opened up a telescope and returned the favor, had I not gotten up at 0330 and driven to Atlanta and back. Maybe I can catch an image tonight if the sun angle isn't too bad. |

Really nice images, and I agree with NGC: Kudos to ESA for the timely release.
Can hardly wait to see the pics from 67P/Gerasimov; the terrific quality of these images is making me drool in anticipation! -------------------- 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.

Yeah. .. I'm buried under that big swirl of clouds that was Ex-Tropical Storm Ida.
(4.5 inches of rain in 4 days of yuck.) Good-bye Rosetta and Good Luck! (Good riddance Ida and don't come back!) -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

And dig this: "In the camera field of view, Lutetia shoudl [sic] appear about as large as the Earth looks in these images." And we only have to wait until July!
