Imagine if a spaceprobe with a small red and blue filtered camera landed in my garden This is the data set it sent back. I thought it'd be a laugh just to string something together - if anyone sticks together a funky mosaic from it- I'll then take a proper photo of the area so you can compare to see how we look at the images we get and how the compare to reality
For the green filter - probably best to average red + blue
If anyone likes the idea - I'll do some others from some interesting places

Well, the surface polygons obviously indicate substantial quantities of sub-surface ice may have been present at some point, and there's some sort of hardware isue which has resulted in a strange stepping effect in some images, almost like a garden fence...
I don't know Doug ... I see strong signs of artificiality in your garden.
Are there any orbiter views of the area ?
Doug,
Did you lend your phone to the Huygens team, by any chance?

PS. Please note that I have strenuously resisted the temptation to make any "no signs of intelligent life" jokes....
The background and general area look quite lifeless and wild to me -- but in the foreground of the first four images, there is *definitely* a trilobite fossil! It's as obvious as anything! And if any of y'all can't see it, that just proves my own very special and God-like powers of observation and analysis!

I'm for the garden furniture donation scheme, but let's NOT get him a sandpit! He'd only lose his best toys in it!
Furniture's still in the Garage - hid it away for the winter and it's only just getting warm enough to need it again

So when will the linearized RAD data be released?
Just keep checking the PDS Imaging node for it.
keep checking......
That spaceprobe that landed in your garden must be on a SETI seach program.
SETI = SEarch for Terrestrial Intelligence.
