Thanks, Gerald! That far rim wall is just incredible in 3D -- reminds me of seeing the rise of the Rockies emerging from the horizon as you drive west through Kansas.

As impressive as these views are, I'm really looking forward to the panorama we will see from the side of Mt. Sharp of the Gale floor fading into the haze and, in the distance, the rim wall rearing up to enclose and overlook it all. I'm betting the rim wall is far clearer once we gain some altitude, and that the haze will appear to almost hug the ground below. We saw something of that effect from Spirit when she was atop Husband Hill, but I'm thinking the effect is going to be even more impressive from high on Mt. Sharp's flanks in another 18 to 24 months.

The rim will also become more visible as we head towards southern winter. Tau typically bottoms out a couple of months after the winter equinox (the equinox is Feb 15th 2014).

The view of the rim is already improving. I can't wait for this winter!

Going Even Deeper on Mt. Sharp... (oh my!)

The morning sun angle from the Sol 364 MC 34 panorama of Mt. Sharp was finally repeated with the Sol 375 pano making for some dramatic detail for another deep stereo dive into Mt. Sharp, and an unusually immersive one at that! Some of the Sol 375 images are still out as of this post so here's a preview of just the right side of the mountain from matching frames that are in. The baseline differential is approximately 300 meters. Will knock out the full mountain when additional frames are in.

Default Anaglyph:


Detail Enhanced Anaglyph:


A Cross-Eye Version Cropped & Slightly Enhanced... cross-eye example of what combining any matching frames of Mt. Sharp from the Sol 364 & 375 panos can achieve for those without anaglyph glasses (just place the Sol 364 shots on the right side). Yeah baby.


Edit: Full Mt. Sharp version now posted here.

This is edtruthan's nice panorama in a circular format. The craters and other depressions show up quite well.

Based on the pointing (267.42° (W), elevation 41.99°) & consulting Stellarium, Jupiter would have been in the frame of this one.


About pictures pointing, Joe, I do not see this information on last images (Sol380/381) on http://curiosityrover.com/ .
It is only matter of time or what else?

It's just the timing--the most recent images often don't have updated SPICE info yet, Usually it shows up 12 hours or less from when the images are taken. Sometimes there's a longer delay.

Mt. Sharp - Full Res Anaglyph - 14,800 x 1,200 pixels

This is probably the best I've seen of the upper mountain yet in 3-D. Sky's are reasonably clear, the separation baseline is good and wide, and the almost identical angle of morning light between sols adds lots of nice contrasts. (Would love to have an MC 100 pairing of this kind sometime.)



Left Channel: MC 34 , Sol 364
Right Channel: MC 34, Sol 375
Separation Baseline: Approx. 300 Meters

SFJCody: if your paper was different from jmknapp's, maybe you could provide a link for it?

Here's a circular version of the 383 post-drive pan, with a nice low sun angle showing topography nicely. I'll leave panorama experts to make a better cylindrical pan.

Sol 383 - Navcam 360's...

2-D (full frame NRB)...


Anaglyph (bottom cropped)...


This was a challenging set of images. The low sun angle is really great to see, but recovering the detail from the extremely dark sun facing frames was tricky without completely washing out the crater rim. Hopefully these strike a decent balance.
