From a scientific point of view, I have to admit that I may have been a little bit over enthusiastic with the last sentence of the WTS news quoted just above ! The longform posts on the SEIS News page have been wonderful, thanks for taking the time to bring us along! |

As I promised more than one month ago, I'm working on an alternative viewer for InSight images. Right now can be reached here: http://www.nahumchazarra.com/insight/datos.php
It's in a very early alpha phase, but it's working. If you have any suggestions, I'll be glad to hear them. |

Looks good. One suggestion is using thumbnails rather than presenting the full-size images small, so the page would load more quickly. But you'd need a script to generate and store them, since the NASA site doesn't seem to have any. Somewhat larger thumbnails would be nice, more like what Midnight Planets or curiosityrover.com use.
The "fetcha" column is just the time the image was taken, from the individual image descriptions on the NASA Insight page, right? Older images may sometimes appear on the NASA site. It would be nice to also show (and be able to sort on) the time the image was received on Earth, or at least the time it appeared on the NASA site. Sorting on the arrival time would mean you wouldn't miss any older images that showed up late. It should be sufficient to use the time your skimmer code first found the image. |

Thanks for the suggestions, Fredk!
I'll be downloading the images and creating a thumbnail for the next version. I also plan for creating a new grid to search the images more easily. The "fecha" field is the date and time the image was taken, but I couldn't find any field with the arrival date/time of the image. I hope when the images are uploaded to the PDS I'll be able to extract more metadata. I might also be doing an iffft receipt for creating some warning when new images arrive. |

For the English speakers here, "fecha" means "date"
Thank you so much for creating this, Nahum! It's always a pleasure to see people spending their time to create something that will benefit so many other people. You might consider creating columns based on the file names that would pull out information on the mesh, mosaic, and stereo/mono nature of each image: -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Thanks Emily!,
I totally forgot to edit the fields of the grid and translating them to english because I was programming in spanish. For the next version I will improve the grid (and the headers will be completely in english), and also I will use the filename convention to add more data to the images. Thanks for the suggestions! |

Good! Now let's hope for a full panorama.

Possibly dumb question - can the mastcam look under the deck in the same way as Phoenix could?
I'm not expecting to see sheets of ice in this near-equatorial location , but is it possible that at some parts of the year, perhaps in the early morning, there might be enough atmospheric moisture to condense water on the body of the lander? Currently reading this new paper to see if it can suppluy some clues... https://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.07772.pdf P |
