All the news conferences are archived on UStream: * * * Admins, could we please add this to the sticky MSL FAQs and USEFUL DOCUMENTS topic? DONE! THANKS! Maschnitz, chris & admins, thanks for this. I've consistently had a hard time googling for the Curiosity news conferences; too many press articles crowding out the original announcement. TTT |

I'm not sure if this is a trick of the perspective, or an otherwise interestingly eroded specimen from Sol 20.

"Humongous Anaglyph II"... With the recent arrival of the remaining Sol 23 full panorama MC100's (at last!) a crisp full resolution anaglyph comprised of Sol 19 and Sol 23's MC100's can finally be rendered without the missing frames. I extended the view all the way to the southern extremities of the Mt. Sharp foothills by blending the Sol 37 MC100 images that were never imaged on 19 and 23's pano's to the right side. That section had to be paired with MC34 frames though so the clarity there degrades a bit, but the nice trade-off is the wider baseline deepens the z-axis considerably. There's still a wonky patch or two at the blend point, but after brushing out those pesky immersion breaking MC100 dirt spots and fully blending the sky for good measure, a full screen, medium zoomed, slow pan from left to right makes for a pretty smooth ride...

"Humongous Anaglyph II"... Good... grief... That has to be one of the most amazing (and I ***HATE*** the over-use of that word, so using it means a lot from me!) images I've ever seen on UMSF. Just outstanding. -------------------- |

Good... grief... Thanks Stu and Ant103. Scary thing is, there are slew of Sol 36 MC100's of the NE flanks of Mt. Sharp whose right side perfectly overlap the left side of this one, but that'd get up into the 30,000's of pixel width. It's tempting though. -------------------- "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." -T.S.

Wauw Ed, mindblowing and eye-popping to say the least! My eyes couldn't deal with the near areas in the bottom of the pano, they just wouldn't click into place for me, I think the colours were too far apart... The landscape is just fantastic in this foreshortened super-tele version.
About one third in from the left and 40 percent up there's a vertical cliff face (in the shade). Looks like the end of a big slab that tilted slightly. Would anybody have an idea how high it is? |

sol 27 image of rock types that Dt. Joy Crisp referred to several weeks ago, a clearer view of the large grains in the rock.

In the upper part of the image, doesn't it look like there is a large dark gray clast in the lighter-colored (?)outcrop?

Whether it's a clast in the lighter-toned unit or just a different kind of rock that was once deposited on the lighter-toned unit when that unit was the surface layer, it's hard to say. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

Interesting,... you have to keep checking back! New images from many older sols - here is one from sol 22 just coming available today (sol 55) - the rover made a circular track imprint around Goulburn Scour just before it departed (used the DAN on the scour).
