Now that the 'boop' has been completed (with spectacular success!), we'll move the discussion to here for subsequent mission events.
-------------------- 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.

Animated movie of the 'blast,' starting from where ground becomes visible again.
Full-res all frames here: https://imgur.com/a/Wp8swJD... had to make it pretty small, and use every other frame, to upload here as a GIF. (I did NOT think this would work. All the hard part done by those who implemented the SIFT-based stack alignment tools in ImageJ! It is quite possible there are some distortions, but I'm learning as I go.) |

I just can't stop looking at this movie. Outstanding compilation!!! Although the movement of the cloud relative to the surface is probably slightly exaggerated (?) by the movement of the camera and the associated change in the angle of view, you can still see the huge dynamics of the debris! And this amazing creep of shadows on the surface! It looks a bit like a version of a dust storm with large stones in it. Very unique and informative shots! I would love to see what's in the black area at the top and outside of the pictures, in the place where TAGSAM "touched" the surface. I wonder if we will see such pictures from a distance? |
