on arXiv today The Cratering History of Asteroid (2867) Steins
-------------------- I'm one of the most durable and fervent advocates of space exploration, but my take is that we could do it robotically at far less cost and far greater quantity and quality of results.

Since the Rosetta team's map of Steins is now published:
Search for Steins’ surface inhomogeneities from OSIRIS Rosetta images Pages 1097-1106 C. Leyrat, S. Fornasier, A. Barucci, S. Magrin, M. Lazzarin, M. Fulchignoni, L. Jorda, I. Belskaya, S. Marchi, C. Barbieri, U. Keller, H. Sierks, S. Hviid I can now post my version. The pointy end of Steins is the north pole, so pictures of it are often shown south-up (defined by rotation direction). My map differs from the official one a bit at the south pole because I interpret the southern horizon features differently. This has zero meridian in the middle, 180 long. at the ends, north up, simple cylindrical projection. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

I could make a nitrous oxide joke here but I'm just too humiliated!

And img2png works! This is from Oct 2008 - a microlensing experiment looking at the galactic center - a mosaic of frames from the NAC Larger version here : http://twitpic.com/5l855t/full Ludicrously long data credit: : MPS/UPD/LAM/IAA/RSSD/INTA/UPM/DASP/IDA |

Cool, I was just looking at that H shaped open cluster on the left a few nights ago! That's M7.

"This is from Oct 2008 - a microlensing experiment looking at the galactic center - a mosaic of frames from the NAC"
It looks great, but with my stupid internet connection, I cannot download more than half, then twitpic disconnect me But luckily this isn't problem with PDS archive, so I finally download some raw images and this is first result (it's same image but with different brightness and contrast): Superresolution image from last five frames from NAC camera (distance around ~5400 km). Resulting images were 2.5× magnified. -------------------- |

Enhanced version of the previous image. Now it has color from calibrated images (orange, IR, green and blue filters).
