Another "Alien Landscapes" detail shot out of the virtual helicopter window while flying over HiRISE's endless
gigapixel landscapes :-)  Large image (1.2 MB) (For a better sense of scale, I added an artificial airplane shadow as "50 m scale" in the lower right corner...) Original context image: PSP_002379_1755 |

QUOTE (ugordan @ Jan 11 2008, 03:42 PM)  How do you calibrate with Photoshop? It can be done. I often use Photoshop to subtract flat fields and dark frames when I have a problematic image (such as working with old Mariner images). It is a pain, but if some tweaking is needed, such as when one doesn't have an exact exposure match and is having to approximate, it is the best way to go. Ted -------------------- |

Cereberus Fossae is rapidly becoming one of my "fave places" on Mars, and the recent release of hundreds of colour images from MRO included a couple of shots of this fascinating feature that I just couldn't resist playing about with... I think it's the combination of the steepness of the cliffs, the long shadows and the hints of detail on the floor that make it so intriguing... you can easily imagine standing on the edge of this great wound in Mars' crust and peering down into the dark depths below...

When we'll have stereo coverage of that area, high-res DEMs, etc., maybe one of the image wizards on this forum will be able to create just such a panorama. |

Not strictly speaking a PDS issue, but I don't know where else to put this, so apologies in advance if anyone thinks this is too off topic.
On her always-fantastic blog today, Emily has a link to a rather good Arizona State University website which - cutting a long story short here - has gathered together all the images of Mars taken by various orbiters over the years, and allows you to browse them to your heart's content. I thought I'd have a look and, on my first random click, found this beauty from HiRISE... Wow... I now have a new "favourite martian crater"!
Thanks Emily! -------------------- |

Actually, I take that back. CURSE you Emily!! Curse you for telling me about such an addictive, time-devouring site!!!
 This is a martian equivalent of GALAXY ZOO. You open the page, select the image database of an orbiter, and are taken to a map, with lots of random red dots or boxes spattered all over it... Boots on, rucksack over the shoulder, time to explore... hmmm... I wonder what THAT box looks like magnified... (click)... oh well, nothing interesting there.... what about THAT one? (click)... nice, but not that great... THAT box? (click) WOW! Look at that! I've never seen that picture before, and I thought I'd seen EVERY picture of Mars! Even found a new (to me) pic of "my" crater on Mars... [attachment=13458:ganges_crater.jpg] Go to this site at your peril...!!!

How true, how true, Stu ! just when you think you're really drowning in all the terapixels of HiRISE alone, then you discover this site  Great, great stuff ... Can't stop surfing and discovering such treasures like this one:  ( colorized MOC S1800492 ) |

Jason is correct. Here's another example in Northern California, Devil's Postpile:

I saw the same thing here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingal's_Cave - it's astonishing stuff.
